Anesthesia practices considering selling should follow these steps in the decision process, according to Dr. Greenfield:
1. Review operating and partnership agreements.
2. Decide the percentage of votes needed to complete the sale.
3. Conduct a non-compete review of both hospital contracts and partnership agreements.
4. Include three to five partners on a transaction board of directors.
5. Address junior partner/partner tract physicians’ shares and the timing of partnership papers.
6. Decide whether employed physicians/CRNAs will participate in the sale of the group.
