Roger Strode and Charles Gass Analyze Proposed Physician Practice Legislation
Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ & Lardner LLP attorneys Roger Strode and Charles Gass analyzed the proposed federal Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act of 2026 in the Becker’s ASC Review article, “.â€�
Drawing from a recent Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ blog quoted in the article, the authors noted that “a significant number of existing physician practice transactions involving private equity sponsors and MSO-based structures would likely require either substantial restructuring to achieve compliance or unwinding entirelyâ€� if the bill is enacted as drafted.
They highlighted provisions aimed at the “friendly physician� model and also observed that proposed fair market value requirements for management agreements could “substantially constrain deal structuring and purchase prices� and reduce the appetite of both buyers and sellers. Additionally, they noted that bipartisan support for the legislation “does not appear likely in the current political environment.�
