“We’ve had a number of requests for a document of this type and we wanted to respond to that need and share the content more broadly,” said David W. Sands, CVA, director at HealthCare Appraisers. “Our firm has provided fair market value (FMV) opinions for several hundred, single and multi-component pathology compensation arrangements for health systems and hospitals, life sciences companies, private equity backed physician practice management organizations, and physician practices. We prepared this guide to share the benefit of our experience and to help “demystify” some of the nuances in this specialty.”
As the publication outlines, many hospitals operate laboratories that require pathologist oversight. While administrative oversight for hospital departments is often obtained through traditional medical directorships, pathology administrative services are often embedded in comprehensive services arrangements, the likes of which do not typically exist for other hospital-based specialties. This guide details the various services that may be provided under the five most common pathology compensation arrangements.
