Hospitals increasingly offer stipend support to anesthesia groups, but these deals often come with strings that erode independence. In the Spring 2025 Issue of Communiqué, published by Coronis Health, Mark unpacks how exclusivity clauses, staffing controls, and termination terms can turn support into control—and how groups can negotiate smarter to protect their future. Read the full piece to learn ways to stay independent and secure support for your group.
In this episode, Justin and Mark discuss key strategies for operating a successful and efficient anesthesia group.
Drawing on decades of experience advising medical groups across the country, Mark offers practical insights on optimizing operations, improving profitability, and navigating the complex regulatory and business landscape of modern healthcare.
