Healthcare Valuation Challenges
Any healthcare transaction that involves physician ownership and/or an entity providing certain designated health services payable by Medicare are governed by a number of regulations at the federal level, such as the Stark Law, the Anti-Kickback Statute, and certain Internal Revenue Service regulations concerning tax-exempt entities. As such, these transactions must be supported by a determination of Fair Market Value to ensure regulatory compliance.
