>>Yes - throw out Schroeder's estimate. Bill McKeever is bearish on the whole industry and is neutral on ADVH. Now take the 4 analyst's estimates who are "Buys" or "Strong Buys" and you get the real previous 1999 consensus of $1.55. << How can you call it the "real previous 1999 consensus" when you toss the bear in the group out? It is only the average of the bulls...hardly a consensus of analysts.

Thank you for posting your comments from the CC. I am curious about your remark that ADVH is planning to switch IMM docs from a fixed fee model to a gain share model. I have heard that fixed-fee doctors have a difficult time adjusting to a other "HMO styled" models. Could you discuss in more detail the "gain share" model. Since the profits are staying within the practice and not going to an insurance company, I would think that the doctors would have an economic incentive to switch. Could you post more of your thoughts on the acquisition?
