Private equity-backed consolidation divides physicians

Private equity-backed consolidation divides physicians 
Modern Healthcare, by Alex Kacik; 3/18/24 
... Fewer physicians — only 46.7% in 2022 compared with 60.1% in 2012 — work in practices wholly owned by doctors amid struggles to manage reimbursement cuts, regulation and rising expenses. As a result, more physicians are joining health systems, private equity-backed management services organizations and insurers. That trend has spurred research, lobbying groups, regulation and legislation on physician employment models.
