BackTable Urology · Ep. 315 Private Equity's Impact on Urology Practices with Dr. Benjamin Lowentritt · 10 Jul 2026 podcast

But the practice, as owned by the doctors, is, you know, essentially the doctors are the ones underwriting everything and the doctors essentially get paid last.

Right.

Because effectively they pay themselves whatever is left over.

Right.

Correct.

But there's more there's in theory more freedom to do as you would want and set things up as you would want for your practice.

And it doesn't always have to be about the bottom line.

It can be about quality of practice, quality of life, you know, the building new services, being able to provide things for patients, et cetera, treating your staff the way you want.

I mean, there should be a lot of freedom there.

And so when you bring in a partner in an MSO, one of the models of the MSO is to essentially say, listen, we'll take care of pretty much all of that, right?

The patient care stays with the docs, right?

The relationship with the, actually the relationship with the payers, the relationship with the hospitals, the relationship with the patients, most importantly, all stays within the medical practice.

but essentially almost everything else can be managed by this management organization.

There are a lot of different ways that that can be structured, and I think that's actually really critical.

But a lot of this lives in

you know, a document in a contract that's called a management services agreement.

So effectively, when a lot of these partnerships are happening, it can either be a, you know, a permanent, there's basically an exchange of identity in a way where you're permanently now tied, the practice is permanently tied to this management organization.

Or it can just be over a certain term.

It's usually a longer term agreement, but maybe a 20 or 25 year term where there's a binding management agreement that the two groups will work together.

And in payment for that, typically, there's a percentage of the profitability of the practice that will then go to that organization, both to help it run and potentially to generate profit.
