A healthcare attorney engaged Healthscope to support a physician client who recently launched a licensed PET/CT imaging service within a new Ambulatory Care Facility (ACF). The physician wished to extend joint venture ownership of the service to other regional cardiology groups.

However, neither the physician nor their attorney had the financial or operational data needed to:

• Evaluate the current value of the service
• Develop a fair and compliant buy-in agreement
• Support a legally defensible Fair Market Value (FMV) opinion for the joint venture structure

Healthscope’s Solution

Within just two weeks, Healthscope delivered a complete assessment that included:

• 📊 A baseline financial review of the newly opened ACF and PET/CT service
• 🧾 Documentation of initial capital investments related to the facility and equipment
• 🔄 A side-by-side financial model comparing:
  • Projected performance under solo ownership
  • Projected performance under a joint venture ownership model
    (Including volume, revenue, operating expense, and ROI projections)
• 🧮 A detailed FMV opinion supporting the terms of a Joint Venture Co-Owner Buy-In Agreement

The Outcome

Armed with accurate, third-party financial insights and a credible FMV opinion, the physician and attorney were able to quickly move forward with negotiations involving a regional cardiology group.

This engagement illustrates how timely, objective analysis can enable physicians and advisors to make confident business decisions—cost-effectively and without delay.
