We exist to preserve physician autonomy, strengthen primary-care practices, and protect the future of independent medicine.
The Challenge Independent Practices Face
Independent primary-care physicians are facing the hardest environment to date in modern healthcare. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has set a 2030 goal for all Traditional Medicare beneficiaries and the vast majority of Medicaid beneficiaries to be in accountable care/value-based arrangements with providers who are responsible for cost and quality of care. That means the system is rapidly moving away from fee-for-service toward value-based care (VBC) and accountable care organizations (ACOs).
At the same time, costs are climbing, reimbursements are tightening, and the administrative burden keeps growing. Physicians are expected to run a successful primary-care practice, deliver better health outcomes, and now navigate complex VBC/ACO contracts, reporting, and risk—all at once. The pressure can feel overwhelming.
It shouldn't be this hard to practice medicine, make a living and keep your independence.
The desire to provide high-quality care, while running a profitable, compliant business under emerging VBC mandates, often pulls providers in opposite directions. Many independent practices are quietly worried that they may be left out of criticial Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid relationships-and squeezed out by large systems and private equity-backed competitors.
Should you
Should You Sell or Surrender Your Independence?
When the healthcare landscape shifts this dramatically, it can feel like there are only two options:
- Sell to a hospital system or private equity group and lose control.
- Try to “go it alone” on VBC/ACO transformation without the financial, legal, technical, or leadership infrastructure to do it safely.
These impossible options causes many providers to feel helpless and doomed for failure.
This is why Practice Impact Partners exists.
More income to the practice…More impact on your patients…and better quality of life for physicians!
A growing number of physician-owned practices are turning to private equity firms or large hospital stystems. But these "solutions" often lead to increased turnover, a loss of autonomy, and high burnout rates, which are the very things they are hoping to avoid.
Selling Isn’t the Solution Many Expect
- Research shows that physicians in private equity-owned firms are 83.5% more likely to leave within two years and report lower professional satisfaction and autonomy.
- In many rollups and acquisitions, the priorities of investors or large systems overshadow the clinical judgement and practice vision of the physician founder.(The Physicians Foundation)
We believe there is a better path.
Independence shouldn’t come at the cost of peace, purpose, or profit.
The Solution
We help resuscitate physician-owned primary care practices so they can thrive as the landscape of healthcare continues to change.
Practice Impact Partners equips independent practices to:
- Profit more and build durable revenue that aligns with VBC/ACO incentives
- Operate more efficiently with systems, data and workflows designed for accountable care relationships
- Deliver exceptional, coordinated care that improves outcomes and performance on quality measures.
We partner with physicians to diagnose the real challenges inside their practice, build a treatment plan that addresses root causes, and implement systems that restore stability, profitability, and readiness for value-based contracts without forcing you to sell or give up control.

Why It Works
Built by physicians. Proven in practice.
We understand what independent doctors face, because we are independent doctors who have navigated the same shift toward accountable care, value-based contracts and downside risk.
We also know that strategy alone isn’t enough. Independent practices need a partner who can teach, help implement, and train their teams—while bringing in the right experts—so they can become VBC/ACO-ready without losing their independence.
Our approach is:
- Physician-driven
- Evidence-based
- Operationally smart
- Designed for the demands of your clinic
- Built for long-term sustainability
Your clinical judgement and values lead our strategy for implementation of a proven VBC/ACO model developed for your unique needs.
