Buying or Selling a Healthcare Business? CHOW in Healthcare
Corporate transactions in the healthcare industry carry regulatory risks that ordinary business sales do not. When a healthcare entity is bought or sold, the transaction may involve state licenses, Medicare, Medicaid, third-party payer contracts, certifications, DEA registrations, and other approvals that determine whether the buyer can continue operating after closing. The structure of the deal matters because an asset purchase may require the buyer to obtain new licenses or payer agreements, while a stock purchase may allow the new owner to proceed through a change of ownership (CHOW) process and continue operating under existing certifications or contracts. Because every CHOW process depends on the type of healthcare entity, the licenses involved, the payer contracts at issue, and whether Medicare or Medicaid participation is part of the transaction, buyers and sellers need to evaluate the structure before moving forward. Due diligence, liability review, letters of intent, red flag analysis, and post-closing change-of-ownership filings all affect whether the transaction protects the buyer, releases the seller from future exposure, and preserves operational continuity. Juan Santos, Shareholder and healthcare corporate & compliance attorney with Chapman Law Group, advises healthcare providers, entrepreneurs, and entities on corporate transactions, asset purchases, stock purchases, and CHOW issues in the healthcare industry. π₯Pharmacy Owners, Pharmacists, Technicians, Doctors, and Physiciansπ₯ β¬οΈStart preparing for Government investigations TODAYβ¬οΈ [FREE] Guide to Healthcare Investigations Ebook: π₯π€β https://bit.ly/3l8y0eT π₯π₯ __________________________________________________ Contact us at: π§ https://www.chapmanlawgroup.com/contact/ or π± call: 1-877-234-5911 __________________________________________________ πββοΈ Juan Santos π https://www.chapmanlawgroup.com/attor... π Learn more about Healthcare Corporate Transactional Law π https://www.chapmanlawgroup.com/pract... ==================================================== π· Instagram π / chapmanlawgroup π· Tweet us @chapmanlawgroup π· More content on Facebook π / chapmanlawgroupmichigan π· Connect on LinkedIn π / chapman-and-associates-p-c-/ π· Official Website βΊ https://www.chapmanlawgroup.com ==================================================== ________ Key Moments ________ 0:00 β Intro 0:17 β Change of Ownership (CHOW) 0:44 β 2 Ways to Sell a Healthcare Business 0:58 β Asset Purchase Agreement 1:18 β Stock Purchase Agreement 2:11 β Importance of Niche Legal Counsel 2:43 β What to Expect From Our Counsel 3:45 β Outro β LEGAL DISCLAIMER β: This is not legal advice advice.
