HealthCare Appraisers, Inc. is pleased to announce the results of the HealthCare Appraisers' 2014 ASC Valuation Survey. Since 2003, HealthCare Appraisers has surveyed the ambulatory surgery center industry to determine trends in the value and characteristics of ASC ownership interests and management fees charged to ASCs. Twenty five respondents, representing well over 500 surgery centers throughout the country, responded to this year's survey. The following is an excerpt from the 2014 ASC Valuation Survey. The complete survey can be downloaded from www.hcfmv.com.
Observed ASC valuation multiples
What valuation multiples have you most typically observed in the marketplace during the past 12 months for predominantly in-network centers?
ASC management fees
What is the typical management fee rate your company charges for ASCs (% of net revenue)?
Do you have any ASC management arrangements wherein the management fee charges vary based on revenue levels of the surgery center (i.e., do you use a sliding scale)?
If you have responded yes to the previous question, at what threshold for annual ASC net revenues do management fees typically decrease?
