Frequently Asked Questions
How do medical practices value a physician partner for buy-sell insurance?
Typically based on 0.5-1.0x annual collections attributed to the physician, plus their proportionate share of practice assets and goodwill. Specialty practices may command higher multiples.
Should medical practices have key person insurance on all physicians?
Focus on physicians who generate significant revenue, hold patient relationships, or have specialized expertise. Coverage should equal 2-3 years of their revenue contribution plus recruitment costs.
What makes Tennessee medical practices unique for insurance planning?
Tennessee's physician shortage, especially in rural areas, means replacement costs are exceptionally high. Nashville's concentration of healthcare companies creates competitive recruiting, and practices serving the growing population benefit from strong demand but must plan for key person loss.
