Florida Healthcare Transactions Attorney

---

The Law Office of Diego Machado represents buyers, sellers, healthcare providers, investors, and healthcare entrepreneurs in transactions involving Florida healthcare businesses.

Healthcare transactions require more than a standard business purchase agreement. Licensing, ownership restrictions, Medicaid and Medicare enrollment, regulatory approvals, billing history, compliance exposure, and operational continuity can materially affect how a transaction should be structured and closed.

Attorney Diego Machado assists clients with the legal and regulatory issues involved in purchasing, selling, restructuring, or investing in Florida healthcare businesses.

Healthcare Acquisitions • Stock & Membership Interest Purchases • Asset Purchases • AHCA CHOWs • Regulatory Due Diligence • Closing & Transition Matters

Healthcare acquisitions involve issues that do not arise in ordinary commercial transactions.

A buyer should understand not only the financial condition of the target company, but also its licensing status, regulatory history, payor relationships, billing practices, ownership disclosures, provider agreements, compliance history, and potential overpayment or recoupment exposure.

A seller should also understand how the transaction may affect licenses, provider numbers, payment rights, accounts receivable, contractual obligations, and post-closing liabilities.

We assist clients with healthcare transactions involving:

1. Medical clinics 
2. Physician practices 
3. ABA therapy providers 
4. Behavioral health providers 
5. Mental health practices 
6. Med spas and aesthetic practices 
7. Home health and other healthcare providers 
8. Healthcare management companies 
9. Management services organizations (MSOs) 
10. Other healthcare-related businesses

Healthcare businesses may be acquired through an asset purchase, stock purchase, membership-interest purchase, or other ownership restructuring.

We assist with:

1. Asset Purchase Agreements 
2. Stock and Membership Interest Purchase Agreements 
3. Seller financing 
4. Escrow arrangements 
5. Representations and warranties 
6. Indemnification 
7. Restrictive covenants 
8. Transition and consulting arrangements 
9. Regulatory closing conditions 

The appropriate structure depends on the business, applicable licenses, and the regulatory and liability issues involved.

A healthcare transaction may trigger an AHCA Change of Ownership (CHOW), new or updated ownership disclosures, Medicaid or Medicare filings, or other regulatory requirements.

We assist clients with:

1. AHCA Change of Ownership matters 
2. Licensing considerations 
3. Medicaid ownership changes and revalidation 
4. Medicare enrollment considerations 
5. Regulatory notices and approvals 
6. Coordination of regulatory requirements with closing 

Addressing these issues before closing can help avoid delays and operational problems after the transaction.

The appropriate structure depends on the business, applicable licenses, and the regulatory and liability issues involved.

Before purchasing a healthcare business, buyers should understand the regulatory and reimbursement history of the company they are acquiring.

Depending on the transaction, we may review:

1. AHCA licenses and exemptions 
2. Medicaid and Medicare enrollment 
3. Regulatory correspondence 
4. Audits and investigations 
5. Overpayment or recoupment history 
6. Provider and payor agreements 
7. Medical director arrangements 
8. Employment and contractor agreements 
9. Management agreements 
10. Billing and compliance issues
