Retirement Planning

Retirement Planning for Plastic/Cosmetic Surgeons

An essential part of owning a private medical practice that is based on cash income is having an exit strategy that generates cash in your hands to fund your eventual retirement. Whether your retirement is decades away or a few years away, early planning is essential for financial independence and securing the most you can when you transfer your money generating legacy in the sale of your practice.

What a physician may think their practice is worth and what they can potentially sell it for are sometimes considerably different. Compounding matters, many physicians mistakenly believe that in today’s marketplace that their practice has little or no value. Gone are the days when your practice value was solely based on the number of active patients-of-record charts you had. Also, your specialization and geographic location factors into the value of a practice. Today it involves much more! It is never too early to plan for your retirement.

Recommendations were provided by PUMC that were specific to Dr. LoVerme’s retirement goal, practice assets, geographic market, and a comfortable exit process. Learn how he built and safeguarded his practice value, acquired the assets of another practice, and was prepared for selling his practice.

Identify Associate Prospects as Part of Your Exit Strategy

PUMC’s Practice Assets and Legacy Transfer program will position your practice to be successful, accelerating the growth of your practice’s revenue and value.

There are different ways to proceed with transitioning your practice towards retirement. Many physicians consider bringing in an associate before retiring with the hopes that they will eventually buy the practice. This is one strategy that can be considered. Also, an unexpected health matter can occur that creates a condition to retire earlier than anticipated. By having an associate already in place who is interested in buying your medical practice, you are in a better position to sell your practice quickly.

PUMC can help you identify associate prospects for your practice.
