In the midst of impending cuts to the Medicaid program and uncertainty around reduced revenue from smaller patient pools, many health centers are examining their options for consolidating with other clinic operators in their communities.  Done effectively, corporate consolidation has many advantages.  It allows health center to expand their scope of services, achieve economies of scale , and enhance financial stability during uncertain regulatory time.  

Navigating consolidation transactions, however, can be a daunting task.  During this webinar attendees will learn about the key aspects to mergers and acquisitions, including whether and when the subsidiary model is permissible. Important non-legal aspects to consolidation transactions will also be discussed so health centers are fully informed of a team-wide approach needed to bring a transaction to a successful close.

The presenters, Partners with the Firm, will draw upon their deep experience to describe key steps, including approaching a potential partner, executing a confidentiality agreement, developing a letter of intent, conducting due diligence and determining whether to proceed with the transaction. Attendees will also learn about when Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) approval is required, with a focus on changes in scope of project to grant transfers through the successor-in-interest process.  The presentation will also explore alternative transactions, such as joint ventures, which can align multiple health centers’ missions and increase economies of scale without consolidating the organizations.
