Their approach emphasizes rapid turnaround times, transparent methodology, and regulatory compliance expertise specific to healthcare arrangements.

HMS maintains active involvement in healthcare industry organizations including IPMI, AHLA, AAPCP, and MGMA, with partners regularly presenting at conferences and contributing to industry publications on topics such as anesthesia coverage models, APP utilization, hospital-based financial arrangements, and FMV compliance strategies.

Choose HMS Valuation Partners when your healthcare organization requires defensible FMV opinions for physician arrangements, medical practice transactions, or hospital-based specialty contracts where regulatory compliance is paramount. Their combination of valuation credentials and healthcare-specific regulatory knowledge makes them particularly valuable for complex arrangements involving APP utilization, timeshare leases, or highly compensated physicians.

Expect a collaborative engagement process with emphasis on understanding your specific circumstances rather than applying generic survey data. The firm's concierge-level service approach and emphasis on rapid turnaround can be advantageous when transaction timelines are compressed.

HMS Valuation Partners operates exclusively within healthcare, dedicating their entire practice to healthcare-specific valuation and compliance challenges. Their expertise encompasses the unique regulatory landscape of physician employment, including Stark Law exceptions, commercial reasonableness determinations, and Anti-Kickback statute compliance.

The firm demonstrates deep vertical knowledge in hospital-based specialties (anesthesiology, radiology, pathology, emergency medicine, hospitalist programs), medical office real estate arrangements, and the evolving landscape of advanced practice provider utilization and split/shared billing models. Their publications and presentations address healthcare-specific scenarios such as CRNA coverage models, global OB service attribution, and CMS fee schedule implications.

Ideal clients include health systems employing hospital-based specialists, hospitals structuring timeshare arrangements for subspecialty coverage, medical groups navigating acquisitions or fair market value questions, and healthcare organizations requiring defensible valuations to support Stark Law and Anti-Kickback statute compliance for physician financial arrangements.
