Healthcare

We have completed more than 7,000 valuation and valuation-related advisory assignments for profit and not-for-profit hospital systems; general, acute care and rehabilitation hospitals; ambulatory surgery centers; diagnostic imaging centers; independent/assisted living facilities and retirement communities. Our valuations and valuation-related advisory play key roles in hospital-physician joint ventures, physician compensation studies, mergers and acquisitions, financial reporting, fixed asset management, real estate, lifing studies and risk management.

Our experience with pharmaceutical manufacturers is extensive, too. We work with many of the world’s most significant pharmaceutical firms valuing patents, patent applications and in-process research and development for GAAP and IFRS compliance.

Although healthcare is a universal industry, the means of its delivery vary tremendously and are always in a state of transition. The private sector is primarily responsible for providing healthcare in the United States. Providers face regulatory issues ranging from Medicare Fraud and Abuse, Stark II and Intermediate Sanctions, concerns unique to the U.S. In many other countries, healthcare is publicly funded and the issues are different.

American Appraisal has engaged in international healthcare valuation for more than 35 years. We frequently find that when a country’s healthcare system is confronted with a new valuation-related challenge, the challenge is not new to us. Most likely, we have addressed the challenge in another country with a successful outcome.

Healthcare is big business and getting bigger. With aging populations and increasing emphasis on physical and mental wellness, this market segment destined for continuing growth and change. We are committed to helping healthcare providers and ancillary organisations stay on top of the financial valuation aspects of this dynamic sector.
