How a pediatric practice sale works
How do I sell a pediatric practice?
To sell a pediatric practice, get a confidential valuation, organize your collections, patient panel, payer mix, vaccine and well-visit data and provider schedule, plan how your families, partners and payer contracts will move to the new owner, market the practice to qualified buyers or arrange an internal buyout, compare offers, then manage diligence through closing.
Value the practice
A free, confidential valuation built on your collections, patient panel, payer mix and what the practice earns after a market pediatrician salary.
Choose the path
We compare an internal buyout by your partners or associates against outside buyers before anyone is approached.
Reach the right buyers
Pediatric groups, platforms and health systems sign an NDA before they learn your practice's name.
Compare offers
We compare offers on price, cash at closing, your role after the sale and how your families will be cared for, then run diligence to closing.
What buyers look at
What do buyers look for in a pediatric practice?
Pediatric buyers look hardest at the size and loyalty of your patient panel, payer mix including Medicaid, well-visit and vaccine programs, provider depth, after-hours coverage, and how much of the practice depends on you.
Patient panel
A large, active panel of families who come back for well visits is the core of what a buyer is paying for.
Payer mix
The balance of commercial insurance and Medicaid or CHIP shapes how dependable revenue looks, since Medicaid usually pays less.
Well visits and vaccines
Steady well-child visits and a well-run vaccine program support predictable revenue and good quality scores.
Provider depth
Pediatricians and nurse practitioners likely to stay keep families in place after the sale.
Coverage and access
After-hours, weekend and same-day access arrangements matter to buyers and to your families.
Your role after the sale
If you see most patients yourself, buyers want a plan for staying on or handing families to another provider.
Pediatric practice valuation
How is a pediatric practice valued?
Pediatric practices are often discussed as a percentage of collections, especially in internal buy-ins and buyouts, but the price that holds up is based on what the practice earns after paying a pediatrician a market salary. Private equity-backed buyers price larger pediatric groups on a multiple of adjusted EBITDA and generally pay more than an internal buyout.
Internal buyouts and physician buyers
Collections as a starting point, earnings as the test
Partners and associates often buy in at lower prices than outside buyers, but the deal is simpler and keeps the practice independent.
Groups and private equity
A multiple of adjusted EBITDA
Earnings are restated with pediatrician pay at market rates. Several providers, a strong payer mix and good access push the multiple up.
Your number depends on your practice. A free valuation looks at your panel, payers, providers and visit data, and gives you a realistic range before you talk to any buyer or partner.

Who buys pediatric practices?
Pediatric practices are bought by partners and associates through internal buyouts, larger pediatric and multi-specialty groups, private equity-backed pediatric platforms, and health systems.
Partners and associates
Internal buyouts are common in pediatrics and often the simplest path for a retiring owner.
Pediatric groups
Larger independent pediatric and multi-specialty groups adding locations, providers and families.
Pediatric platforms
Private equity-backed networks of pediatric practices, usually with a role and equity for physicians who stay.
Health systems
Hospitals and health systems adding pediatric primary care, usually with employment for the pediatricians.
Internal or outside buyer
Should I sell my pediatric practice to my partners or an outside buyer?
It depends on your goals: an internal buyout is usually simpler and keeps the practice independent but often pays less, while a pediatric platform or larger group may pay more and asks for a longer commitment. We value the practice first so you can compare both with real numbers.

Questions
Selling a pediatric practice: common questions
How do I sell a pediatric practice?
Get a confidential valuation, organize your collections, panel, payer and visit data, plan how your families, partners and payer contracts move to the new owner, then either arrange an internal buyout or market the practice to qualified buyers under NDA, compare offers and manage diligence through closing.
Who buys pediatrician practices?
Partners and associates through internal buyouts, larger pediatric and multi-specialty groups, private equity-backed pediatric platforms, and health systems.
How does a Medicaid-heavy payer mix affect a pediatric practice sale?
Medicaid and CHIP usually pay less than commercial insurance, so a heavy Medicaid mix can lower earnings and the price. Buyers also look at volume, efficiency and any value-based programs that offset lower rates.
Do you sell pediatric therapy clinics?
No. We sell pediatrician medical practices. Pediatric therapy and behavioral health clinics are outside our focus.
How long does it take to sell a pediatric practice?
Most sales take 4 to 9 months from the first valuation to closing, sometimes less and sometimes more, depending on preparation, the buyer and any lender or payer approvals.
How much does a pediatric practice broker cost?
Medical Exit Group works on commission only, so we are paid when your practice sells.
