How to Value the Purchase of Dental Charts

[Kenneth Hovden]

I thought I saw this on the forum in the past but couldn’t locate the tops.  A dentist 4 blocks from me is retiring and selling his practice.  I have the opportunity to purchase his patient charts.  My question is how does one put a value on the charts.  He has 40% delta dental, 20% PPO and 40% fee for service supposedly.  One other problem is his current fee schedule is very low- even for the fee for service.  My practice is all fee for service, but new patient flow in the area is difficult.

Thanks
