OPERATOR-COMMISSIONED · BEFORE HMA TAKE-OVER

Operator's Property Acceptance Inspection

For the operator. Before accepting a property under an HMA or lease, the operator commissions an independent record of the baseline physical and operational condition. This baseline protects the operator from being held responsible for pre-existing issues later in the HMA lifecycle — particularly around performance tests and CapEx reserve disputes.
