Recurring client contracts and percentage-of-collections revenue
Signed agreements with term, notice provisions, and a percentage-of-collections or per-claim structure are the asset. Project cleanups are valued far lower.
El Paso Owner's Guide · Medical Billing, Coding & Revenue Cycle
Billing companies are recurring-revenue businesses attached to clients who almost never leave. That combination earns strong multiples — provided your contracts are real, your collections performance is documented, and the client relationships do not live in your phone.
The Local Market
Physician practices, clinics, and specialty providers across El Paso and southern New Mexico outsource billing because doing it well is hard. Buyers include regional RCM platforms and private capital, and they underwrite contract quality and performance metrics.
Signed agreements with term, notice provisions, and a percentage-of-collections or per-claim structure are the asset. Project cleanups are valued far lower.
Net collection rate, days in A/R, first-pass acceptance, and denial rates prove your service is worth what clients pay — and that they will stay.
Average client tenure, churn history, and diversification across specialties and practice sizes determine how much of the book a buyer can count on.
Certified coders, documented workflows, capacity, and the billing platform in use all determine how efficiently a buyer can absorb and grow the business.

Move the slider. This uses owner's discretionary earnings (SDE) — your net profit plus your salary, personal expenses run through the business, interest, depreciation, and one-time costs. Larger firms are frequently valued on EBITDA instead, which usually produces a higher multiple.

Estimated enterprise value
$594,000 – $999,000
That’s roughly 3.3× to 5.5× your owner’s earnings, before any real estate you own.
Every box you check is a lever you can still pull before you list. Owners who fix the books and the lease first routinely land at the top of their range instead of the bottom.

Step by Step
Three years of P&Ls and tax returns, reconciled, plus revenue by client, contract terms and notice periods, client tenure and churn, collections performance metrics, claim volume, staff roster with credentials, and platform costs.
Not a broker's opinion, and never a platform buyer's opening number. We commission a certified valuation from an independent NACVA-credentialed appraiser — the caliber of report banks, buyers, the IRS, and courts rely on.
Every client managed by an account lead rather than by you personally is value a buyer can finance. Start the handoff well before listing.
Client agreements and assignment language, HIPAA and business associate agreements, data security and breach history, coder credentialing, billing compliance and audit exposure, worker classification for remote staff, platform licensing, and unpaid taxes.
No word to your clients or your staff. We market blind on service and financial profile to vetted, financially verified buyers under NDA — so you compare offers rather than react to one.
Offers, escrow, quality-of-earnings review, client consents, data and BAA transition, staff retention, earnout and transition structure, and funding. We stay on it through closing.
Costly Mistakes
Unsigned client relationships cannot be verified or assigned, and buyers pay accordingly. Papering the book is the highest-return preparation available.
Net collection rate and days in A/R are your proof of value. Without them, you are asking a buyer to take your service quality on faith.
If every practice administrator calls you directly, the buyer inherits flight risk and prices it into the offer.
A single large client leaving can take most of your profit, which is why buyers discount concentration so heavily.
You handle protected health information. Gaps in agreements, security controls, or breach history create real exposure and holdbacks.
RCM acquirers often propose earnouts and retention conditions. The structure can matter more to your outcome than the headline number.
Questions Owners Ask
Straight answers, no hedging. If yours isn’t here, call us and ask it directly.
Contracted RCM companies commonly trade between roughly 3 and 6 times owner's discretionary earnings, and larger firms are often valued on an EBITDA multiple that lands higher. Contract quality, collections performance, client diversification, and management depth determine where you land. Only a certified independent valuation survives a lender's underwriting.
It depends on assignment and change-of-control language, and some clients require consent or re-papering along with new business associate agreements. Reviewing this before marketing prevents a mid-diligence surprise. Confirm specifics with your own counsel.
Frequently, particularly with platform buyers, and typically tied to client retention. The measurement basis, the period, and your role during it deserve as much scrutiny as the headline price.
A great deal. Documented net collection rates, low denial rates, and fast A/R turnaround both justify your fees and predict client retention, which is exactly what the buyer is purchasing.
Qualified buyers can access SBA 7(a) financing up to $5 million, and recurring-revenue healthcare services are a favored lender profile. Larger transactions move to conventional or private-capital structures. SBA pre-qualification is a preliminary, non-binding lender assessment, not a loan commitment.
No. We are brokers, not attorneys, accountants, or healthcare compliance advisors. Confirm HIPAA, data handling, and billing compliance obligations with your own counsel.
