Solo Internal Medicine Practice Closure

Overview

A 30-year solo internal medicine practice in Henderson, Nevada announced retirement. With 3,200 active patients and decades of medical records, the physician needed a compliant wind-down that protected patients, preserved records, and recovered outstanding receivables.

The Challenge

After 30 years, this physician had 3,200 active patients who needed to be properly notified, helped to find new providers, and have their records transferred. Nevada state law required a 30-day minimum notification period via certified mail and local publication. $180K in AR was aging but recoverable with focused effort.

Our Approach

Brad managed the full closure over 90 days: drafted and executed the Nevada-compliant patient notification campaign, coordinated relationships with 4 accepting practices for patient referrals, arranged a HIPAA-compliant records custodian for the required 10-year retention period, and recovered $180K in AR on a contingency basis.

What We Did

• Full Nevada state medical board notification filed on day 1
• 3,200 patients notified via certified mail and newspaper publication per NRS requirements
• Coordinated patient referral relationships with 4 accepting internal medicine practices
• Arranged HIPAA-compliant records custodian for mandatory 10-year Nevada retention period
• Recovered $180K in outstanding AR on contingency — no upfront cost to physician
• Medicare/Medicaid withdrawal filed and confirmed
• All insurance panel termination letters issued with proper notice periods
