As payers continue to turn toward new payment models, many healthcare providers have embraced some form of accountable care, bundled payments, or other types of shared savings/risk arrangements. The first step often involves the development of an entity through which physicians in a community can contract together with governmental and commercial payers, often (but not always) alongside a health system and its employed physicians. Over the past five years, hundreds of these entities have sprung up in markets across the country and transactions involving them are becoming increasingly common. Join experts Karin Chernoff Kaplan, Stu Schaff, and Jessica Stack  to learn the unique considerations and drivers that affect the economics of these entities, and how they are continuing to evolve.

• Background
  • The transition from fee-for-service to value based payment and major initiatives driving that transition
    
  • How entities like CINs, ACOs, PHOs, and IPAs are supporting those initiatives
    
  • Discussion of transactions involving these entities
• Case study #1, illustrating special considerations in the application of the income approach
  
• Case study #2, illustrating special considerations in the application of the market and cost approaches
  
• Conclusions

• Participants will understand the forces driving development of entities like CINs, ACOs, PHOs, and IPAs
  
• Participants will learn the factors that distinguish these entities from other healthcare entities, and how those factors impact the entities’ cash flows and risk profiles
  
• Participants will be able to know the right questions to ask when applying valuation methodologies to these entities
