Practices retain control with a nonacquisition model PPMC.

Traditional PPMCs acquire the assets of a physician practice and provide management services. Physicians pay a management fee for these services and relinquish control over their practice. With a new nonacquisition model PPMC, physicians retain ownership of and control over their practices. In return for a management fee, they receive management expertise and capital. The result should be practice revenue growth. This growth is achieved by developing a strategic plan, getting physician buy-in before implementing the plan, and monitoring the results.
