The Latest Data on Goodwill Value

Goodwill value is almost always the most significant and valuable component of an ophthalmology practice's worth. The Health Care Group's Goodwill Registry reports actual transactions involving the intangible goodwill value of ophthalmology and other medical and dental practices.

The information below, drawn from the 2006 Goodwill Registry, continues to confirm that ophthalmology goodwill — though still trending downward — is still quite viable, and that ophthalmology practices are one of the most valuable of all medical specialties.

About this data: The Goodwill Registry for 2006 contains more than 4,000 reported transactions (including more than 200 for ophthalmology practices) submitted to The Health Care Group by participating health care advisors, consultants and practices during the years 1996 to 2005. The complete 2006 Goodwill Registry also reports the specific detailed data for each transaction reported including additional data such as state, reason for valuation, valuation method, gross revenue and overhead percent. A new data analysis Toolkit allows quick and easy analysis of the Goodwill Registry's comparable sales data. For more information about the 2006 Goodwill Registry, call Mark E.
