U.S. Rep. John Barrow (D-GA) recently paid a visit to Midtown Surgical Center in Savannah, Ga., according to an ASCA Government Affairs report.

The congressman was personally invited to tour the facility by John Murrell, MD, during a 2011 fly-in to Washington, D.C., by Georgia members.

During the tour, Rep. Barrow learned from Dr. Murrell and Clinical Nurse Manager Michelle Reaves about the ASC's operations, including the patient cycle of care and ASC finances.

Dr. Murrell and Rep. Barrow also discussed the benefits ASCs provide the healthcare system, challenges ASCs face, Medicaid reimbursement and improving healthcare for indigent patients.
