Marcy Hahn-Saperstein was quoted in a Miami Today article titled, “Private Equity Funds and Hospitals Targeting More Physician Practices,” in which she explained the drivers behind what many see as a rising trend in healthcare M&A.

"The business of a medical practice is becoming far more complex than years ago," Hahn-Saperstein told Miami Today. "The implementation of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act and other Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services requirements, and general uncertainty in the industry with regard to healthcare reform and its impact on physician practices, will likely spur renewed interest in physician practice acquisitions."

"Seeking safety in numbers, physicians want to either group together in large numbers or become employed by hospital systems to facilitate their ability to negotiate with payors to seek economies of scale to leverage against higher costs driven by requirements in the areas of compliance, quality and technology."
