Case Studies With Proven Value to Our Clients

• A national private health system comprised of nearly 90 hospitals had historically spent approximately $1.7 million per year on valuation and appraisal fees for physician arrangements. The system signed up for the Fixed Fee Partnership and saved over $400,000 per year in valuation spend. On a per-engagement spend basis, valuation cost decreased by approximately 30%.
• A single-facility health system located in the Midwest had historically relied upon an internal process for establishing FMV for physician arrangements. Upon utilizing the Fixed Fee Partnership, the system was able to obtain immediate FMV analyses results for an average of 12 physician employment arrangements per month. Valuation costs would have otherwise escalated significantly had the system utilized a standard per-project or per-hour pricing model.
• A not-for-profit health system located in Mississippi achieved an overall 27% cost reduction in annual valuation spend. In addition, the Fixed Fee Partnership significantly improved project turnaround and throughput by providing immediate FMV analyses utilizing our interactive, automated tools.
