The Latest Data on the Value of Goodwill

Goodwill value is frequently the most significant part of an ophthalmology practice's worth. The Health Care Group's Goodwill Registry reports actual transactions involving the intangible value of ophthalmology and other medical and dental practices.

The accompanying information, drawn from the 2003 Goodwill Registry, confirms that ophthalmology goodwill is still quite viable and that ophthalmology practices are one of the most, if not actually the most, valuable of all the medical specialties.

About this data: The information for this month's installment of Stat Tracker was drawn from the Health Care Group's 2003 Goodwill Registry, which reports actual transactions involving the intangible value of ophthalmology and other medical and dental practices. Data from the Goodwill Registry has been used in litigation proceedings to help resolve valuation issues. The Goodwill Registry for 2003 includes more than 200 reports of goodwill for ophthalmology practices from transactions submitted to The Health Care Group by participating healthcare advisors, consultants and practices during the years 1992 to 2002.

The complete 2003 Goodwill Registry also reports the specific detailed data for each transaction, including state, reason for valuation, valuation method, gross revenue and overhead percent. For more information about the 2003 report, call Mark E. Kropiewnicki, J.D., LL.M., at (800) 473-0032.
