The transfer of medical records is sometimes an afterthought when a doctor comes to the point of selling his medical practice.

Asset sale vs. equity sale, purchase price, and a hundred other things are often what consumes the seller, the buyer, and their respective lawyers.

This episdoe of Legal Scrubs discusses 2 things that every Tennessee physician must remember when he or she is  selling their practice with respect to their medical records.

Hint: one of these is federal in nature, and other is a creature of Tennessee law.
