At NBT we LOVE cash flow accretive acquisitions…and one of the most interesting aspects of the UGHS ObamaCare Strategy is how they turn low reimbursement physician-owned outpatient facilities into higher reimbursement “HOPDs”…hospital outpatient department.

Medicare and Medicaid…as well as most 3rd party healthcare payors and plans…rightfully recognize significant value added for MRI/Bariatric Surgery/Pain Management/PT outpatient facilities run to the MUCH higher standards of hospitals than physician owned outpatient centers.
