The deal context

Transition Services Agreements (TSA) on healthcare services deals is one of those workstreams that looks routine on a checklist and decides outcomes in practice.

The typical healthcare services platform sits at $15M to $120M EV with EBITDA in the $3M to $20M range. The thesis runs on roll-up of physician practices and ancillary service lines. Most off-market healthcare deals come through advisors who have seen the structure before. Have one in your call list.

The moves

How Transition Services Agreements (TSA) actually gets structured.

  1. Define every service with measurable inputs, outputs, and durations.

  2. Price each service at actual cost plus a defined margin.

  3. Set termination rights for both sides, with notice periods.

  4. Address data privacy and security obligations across the transition.

  5. In healthcare services, layer in PC/MSO structuring as part of the Transition Services Agreements (TSA) workstream.

The common mistake

Writing a generic TSA. Every line in a TSA is a future dispute waiting for definition.

Jason's take
"A good TSA reads like a SLA. A bad TSA reads like a memo."
