Contract red flags
- Insurance mix dependency Sonrava's economics depend on dense Medicaid capture. If your practice is fee-for-service, the Sonrava post-close operating model will not preserve your margin.
- Clinical protocols Full standardization. Treatment planning software, vendor contracts, lab choices, and specialty referrals are centralized.
- Regulatory exposure Western Dental and Brident both have histories of state-level regulatory action on billing practices. This does not affect the seller directly but it affects post-close brand reputation in your community.
For most fee-for-service owners, Sonrava is not a realistic buyer — the economics do not work for either side. Where Sonrava makes sense is a Medicaid-heavy practice in a Sonrava footprint state. If that is not you, the meeting is not worth taking.
