Free report for appraisers on new value factors in dermatology practices

The services offered by dermatology clinics have grown in the last decades--and this complexity of service has changed value--and valuation practices.

Three of the key factors for placing value specifically on a dermatology practice in today’s market include:

• Volume and type of services. Each dermatology practice requires individual evaluation. Cosmetic services, for example, are generally a plus in good economic times, but can generate fixed overhead that drags down income when the economy is weak.

• Contracted insurance rates. Higher insurance rates generate higher income, of course, and all things being equal, higher value. Transferability of insurer contracts to another physician are a consideration.

• Presence of ancillary income. A dermatology clinic with a successful pathology lab, for example, tends to create enterprise-level goodwill value.
