ASC Second Opinion: Delivering Clarity in High-Stakes Negotiations

Healthscope was recently engaged by the physician-owners of an Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) to provide a second opinion on the Fair Market Value (FMV) of their facility during active sale negotiations with a hospital buyer. The buyer’s third-party valuation, based solely on the Net Current Asset method, estimated the ASC’s value at $1 million.

Our team conducted a comprehensive FMV assessment using three widely accepted valuation methodologies:

  • Market Comparable Approach
  • Cost Replacement Approach
  • Adjusted Net Current Asset Approach

This multi-faceted analysis produced a valuation range with an average of $3.9 million—a significantly different outcome than the buyer’s initial report.

The client appreciated both our thorough, data-driven methodology and our ability to deliver a final report within just 4 days, helping move negotiations forward with confidence.
