Independent physician groups have become attractive targets for investors, with private equity-backed healthcare deals on the rise for years. Since 2014, the volume of deals has increased more than 40%. In 2018 the value of deals reached $62.8 billion, an increase of nearly 63% over this same period. Preliminary reports indicate 2019 was an even stronger year for deal activity. Some practices sell to health systems, others join practice management groups owned by private equity firms, and others are creating their own platform companies by combing with like-minded healthcare businesses.

Increased regulatory pressures on physicians, competition from large physician groups and healthcare systems, the recession-resistant nature of healthcare, and the opportunity to increase ROI with improved practice management are just some of the factors driving this trend.
