I’m in the process of acquiring a CLIA-certified molecular diagnostics lab in California and would appreciate advice from anyone who has gone through a similar acquisition. I’m looking for referrals to a healthcare transaction attorney and CPA with experience in: – Diagnostic / CLIA lab deals – SBA + seller-financing structures – Regulatory continuity (CLIA/CDPH) and payer contracts Also curious what red flags to watch for in post-COVID lab transitions — things like payer audit risk, reimbursement trends, staffing/licensing issues, or compliance pitfalls. Any referrals or lessons learned would be appreciated.

The bank pays us after your loan closes, so this is a 100% free service for you. You can email me directly at redacted or schedule a meeting with me: https://cal.com/francodeguzman/30min.
