This community has been a great resource, and I'd like to give back. If you have any tactical questions related to acquiring a healthcare business - the kind of thing ChatGPT can't help with - feel free to drop them below. I will do my best to assist or point you in the right direction. My background: My healthcare "career" started in the mid-1990s, scanning patient records to digitize my father's primary care practice. Fast forward to full-time adult employment, and I've now spent over 13 years in the healthcare, pharma, and med device industries, working at a large management consulting firm, a publicly traded healthcare company, and a healthcare VC.

I would focus on regulatory compliance and understanding if any changes or improvements need to be made. The importance will differ from sector to sector within healthcare but it’s an area that introduce risk if not properly evaluated during due diligence. We’ve had to walk away from a few deals after learning of persistent compliance issues that risk payor reimbursements. In some cases, I wish we’d focused there earlier in our due diligence process.

Hi Ben, I truly appreciate your desire to give back. I'm looking at a few healthcare businesses. I don't have very tactical questions at this time, but I am looking for some strategy validation from industry experts. So, wondering if you are open to connecting for a few mins. I know this is not what you offered on your post so don't feel pressure to accept my invite. Thanks!
