arrangements with healthcare providers. Specifically, the purpose of the calculator is:

Report
Provide a printable valuation document/opinion which can be utilized for compliance and contract management documentation.
Review
Identify compensation arrangements which may require a further review through either a consult with
the valuation team or an expanded valuation report.
