Hello all. Forgive me if this is been posted before someplace, but I have a few questions regarding AMC's. I realize the underlying profit motive, but was wondering if subsidized groups are subject to being bought out, or if they would simply be underbid and taken over. An unsubsidized group that was MD heavy could obviously be bought out, an ACT model implemented, and margins created or it could be simply employed by the hospital if they thought they could lean out the practice and profit from it or increase points of service. I ask because as a relatively new member of a huge group that is subsidized, I am unsure of how concerned I should be about vesting schedules. Fortunately, no monetary buy in is required (aside from time of coarse, which = money). It would seem that a practice already running a relatively lean ACT model with a subsidy would have little capacity for excess margin and thus be less attractive to the leeches, and possibly even viewed as a liability to them.
