Illinois amendment would expand dentistry private equity reporting: 5 notes

Reporting requirements for healthcare transactions in Illinois could be expanded by an amendment to HB 5000, according to a Feb. 5 article from the Holland & Knight law firm.

Here are five things to know:

  1. Under the amendment, any transactions involving healthcare facilities or provider organizations would be subject to the state’s reporting requirements.
  2. Today, only transactions between facilities and provider organizations trigger the requirement. 
  3. Entities that own or control healthcare business, such as private equity firms, that have an annual revenue of $10 million or more from Illinois patients, are included under the amendment. 
  4. Private equity investments into a DSO, the sale of a DSO to investors or affiliations of multiple dental practices with a DSO, could be subject to the requirements under the amendment. 
  5. The amendment removes the expiration date of the current statute, which was set to expire on Jan. 1, 2027.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place November 12–14 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
