Stop Using AI for Medical Practice Valuations

By Wade Emmert

Are you using AI to retroactively justify your clinic's lease payments or physician compensation? You are stepping into a massive compliance trap.

In this episode, Wade sits down with Brent Shockley, a healthcare valuation expert at Marshall & Stevens, to discuss the dangerous trend of AI-generated Fair Market Value (FMV) reports. Brent breaks down why AI's tendency to hallucinate data and its inability to bypass paywalled market research makes it completely indefensible against the Department of Justice.

They also cover the actual 4-week timeline of a proper valuation, the critical "Commercial Reasonableness" test, and why keeping documented work papers for seven years is the only way to truly protect your transaction from an audit.
