Physician Practice M&A: Building Value, Navigating Options, and Preparing for What’s Next

Physician practice mergers and acquisitions are no longer a distant possibility—they’re an active reality reshaping healthcare across the Carolinas and beyond. In this episode of the Carolinas MGMA Podcast, Stephen Fogg sits down with Clint Bundy and Drew Thomas of Bundy Group to unpack what’s driving consolidation, who today’s buyers really are, and what practice leaders should be doing now to build long-term value. From understanding EBITDA and enterprise value to preparing staff and leadership for life after a transaction, this conversation provides practical, non-alarmist guidance for practice managers and physician owners navigating an evolving healthcare landscape.

Price Transparency – Fixing the Patient Financial Experience

On this episode of the Carolinas MGMA Podcast, presented in partnership with ComTech, host Stephen Fogg of Fogg Media explores one of the most pressing challenges in healthcare today: price transparency. Patients deserve clarity around costs, yet the U.S. healthcare system remains complex and opaque. To unpack this critical issue, Stephen is joined by two expert guests: * Rahul Naidoo, co-founder of Superscript, a company reimagining the patient financial experience. Superscript recently launched healthcare’s first pricing protocol aimed at fixing what many consider the core breakage in the system: the lack of a transparent, consistent pricing model. * Andrew J. Wade, CEO of OrthoSC, South Carolina’s leading musculoskeletal practice with 83 providers. In addition to overseeing strategic, financial, and operational performance at OrthoSC, Andrew is pursuing doctoral research focused on healthcare economics and price transparency. Together, Rahul and Andrew bring both the innovator’s lens and the practice leader’s perspective, offering valuable insight into what true price transparency could mean for patients, providers, and the future of healthcare delivery. Tune in for a timely conversation that blends real-world practice management with forward-thinking innovation.
