A California doctor whose insurance-based practice was offered $150,000 to $200,000 for sale saw its value soar to nearly $6 million three years after converting to a membership model, despite seeing 85% fewer patients. Tom Blue, Co-founder of Ovation Lab, explains on the Concierge Medical Marketing Podcast that this illustrates how membership practices become valuable, recurring revenue assets. He details why retention rate is an investor's number one concern, not growth, and how every new dollar of earnings can add five or six dollars to a practice's purchase price. Discover how optimizing your pricing and leveraging health assessment assets you don't own can further fortify your practice for a lucrative future sale.
