PART 5 - Transition and Post-Closing

Protect the value you just paid for.

Closing is not the finish line. A smooth transition protects the goodwill and patient relationships you just bought, and several post-closing steps are time-sensitive. This final post covers needs to be handled once the deal is done.

Post-deal needs:

• Staff retention and re-onboarding — employment offers, wage and hour compliance, and benefits transition.

• Patient notification and records transfer — handled in a manner consistent with HIPAA and California privacy requirements.

• Payer credentialing and re-enrollment — begin early, as insurance credentialing can take months and affect cash flow.

• Licenses, permits, and registrations — update the DEA, x-ray/radiation permits, business licenses, and fictitious business name filings.

• Notify carriers and update malpractice and general liability coverage effective at closing.
