🛡️ Regulatory Risk Scorecard — PKD
Auto-generated from target profile. MD sees this before deciding to take the mandate.
| Framework | Applicability | Risk Level | Exposure | Deal Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 340B Drug Pricing Program | Direct | Medium | PKD enables FQHC 340B access — buyer must understand covered entity requirements | Valuation premium if compliance clean; discount if audit pending |
| Stark Law (Physician Self-Referral) | Direct | High | Specialty care referral pathways must satisfy fair market value exception | Deal-killer if referral arrangements lack FMV documentation |
| Anti-Kickback Statute | Direct | Medium | Infrastructure fee arrangements must fall within safe harbors | Requires safe harbor analysis in CIM regulatory section |
| PPS (Prospective Payment System) | Direct | Low | FQHC PPS rates set by CMS — PKD revenue not dependent on rate negotiation | Positive: predictable reimbursement supports revenue stability narrative |
| HRSA Oversight | Direct | Medium | FQHC partners subject to HRSA site visits, scope changes, UDS reporting | Buyer diligence must confirm FQHC partner compliance status |
| UDS Reporting | Indirect | Low | PKD services must be captured in FQHC UDS data — quality metric alignment | Positive: demonstrates measurable patient impact |
| State Medicaid Waivers | Indirect | Medium | State-by-state variance in Medicaid managed care affects FQHC partner economics | Multi-state expansion thesis requires state-level regulatory mapping |
| State Licensure (Clinical) | Direct | Low | Specialty clinics require state-specific clinical licenses | Expansion timeline gated by licensure processing |
⚠️ Red Flags Detected
Stark Law — FMV Documentation Gap
PKD referral pathway documentation should be verified pre-mandate. Similar gap caused 6-month delay in comparable Deal #14 (2023).

I. Executive Summary
AI + Human
Precision Kidney Diagnostics ("PKD" or the "Company") is a healthcare infrastructure company that has developed a compliance-first operating platform enabling Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) to integrate specialty care services — including rheumatology and infusion therapy — without assuming the associated regulatory exposure.
The Company's infrastructure-based revenue model eliminates dependency on drug spread arbitrage, instead generating predictable recurring revenue through contracted service arrangements with FQHC partners. PKD currently serves [X] FQHC locations across [X] states, with a demonstrable track record of expanding specialty care access to underserved populations while maintaining full compliance with 340B, Stark Law, Anti-Kickback Statute, and HRSA oversight requirements.

II. Company Overview
AI Generated
Problem: FQHCs serve 30+ million patients annually but lack the infrastructure to deliver specialty care in-house. Patients requiring rheumatology, nephrology, or infusion therapy are referred to external specialists, creating care fragmentation, patient attrition, and missed 340B capture opportunities.
Solution: PKD provides a turnkey infrastructure layer that enables FQHCs to stand up specialty care service lines within their existing footprint. The Company handles clinical staffing, regulatory compliance, technology integration, and payer credentialing — allowing FQHCs to expand services without expanding their regulatory exposure.

V. Regulatory Environment
AI Generated
Auto-populated from Layer 2 — Regulatory Intelligence Engine
PKD operates at the intersection of multiple federal and state regulatory frameworks. The Company's compliance-first positioning is both its primary moat and its key risk management strategy.
Key Frameworks:
• 340B Drug Pricing Program: PKD enables FQHC partners to maintain 340B eligibility while expanding specialty services. The Company does not participate directly in 340B drug purchasing — eliminating spread-based revenue risk.
• Stark Law & AKS: All referral arrangements structured within established safe harbors. Fair market value documentation maintained for all compensation arrangements.
• HRSA Oversight: FQHC partners subject to ongoing HRSA compliance requirements. PKD's infrastructure model is designed to support — not complicate — HRSA compliance.
