35th Social Security Council, Medical Insurance Subcommittee, Judo Therapist Treatment Fee Study Committee Distribution Materials

News Highlights

The distribution materials for the 35th Social Security Council, Medical Insurance Subcommittee, Judo Therapist Treatment Fee Study Committee have been released. Key issues for the management and business succession of medical institutions, such as preparation for medical fee revisions, economies of scale, and utilization of tax schemes, are suggested. In particular, the focus is on mid-to-long-term management and succession strategies, spreading the burden of facility standard maintenance and equipment investment, and utilizing tax preferential treatment by transitioning to specific medical corporations or social medical corporations.

M&A Medical Editorial Department’s Perspective

These distribution materials from the Judo Therapist Treatment Fee Study Committee are not just a report on industry trends but can serve as a significant incentive for medical institutions, especially for businesses operating Judo therapy clinics, to reconsider their business succession and management strategies. The importance of mid-to-long-term management and succession strategies in view of the medical fee revision cycle is always a core issue when considering M&A. Furthermore, the economies of scale through group formation, namely maintaining facility standards and dispersing the burden of high equipment investment, suggest that business integration through M&A is a realistic option for small and medium-sized medical institutions that are finding it increasingly difficult to survive independently. Additionally, the utilization of tax schemes with a view to transitioning to specific medical corporations or social medical corporations may lead to a reduction in tax burdens at the time of succession, which is also an indispensable consideration for M&A. These issues should be deeply considered by both management and successors as concrete action plans to ensure future management stability and business continuity.
