Why Did DIG Contact Me as a Doctor?
DIG reaches out to doctors to invite them to serve as test locations for its clients’ products or services. Typically, DIG implements test sites across 100 different healthcare practices nationwide, generating the data needed to support a client’s business case for acquisition.
For doctors, these opportunities provide a chance to evaluate products and services in a real-world clinical setting while playing a key role in positioning a healthcare company for acquisition. Participation is structured to ensure that doctors:
- Incur no out-of-pocket expenses
- Retain full control over their involvement (with the option to withdraw at any time)
- Keep any revenue generated from using the product or service in their practice
In many cases, DIG also shares a portion of its earnings from the eventual sale of the client’s company, offering doctors a financial benefit beyond the testing phase. To further protect participants, DIG or the client company may provide additional safeguards to minimize or eliminate any potential risks.
By partnering with DIG, doctors gain access to cutting-edge healthcare innovations while maintaining financial security and professional autonomy.
Are the Products and Services Vetted?
Yes. Every product or service introduced through DIG is designed to benefit patients and has undergone a thorough vetting process to ensure compliance with CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) and other industry regulations.
Can a Healthcare Practice Be Sold Through This Program?
Yes, but participation does not require selling a practice. DIG’s primary goal is to generate valuable data that demonstrates the effectiveness, market potential and the increase in valuation realized by a healthcare practice as a result of adding the client’s product or service.
While some practices may choose to explore a sale as part of the process, there is no obligation to do so. Healthcare providers maintain complete control over their decision-making, ensuring that their involvement remains aligned with their professional goals.
By analyzing data from 100 test locations, DIG can demonstrate how integrating a particular system or service increases a practice’s valuation. Institutional buyers are often interested in acquiring companies with proven models that can be scaled across multiple locations.
