Five factors can contribute to thin ASC margins, ClearGage explains in a new e-book:

1. Not informing patients of financial responsibility
2. Not having the ability to follow up on patient collections
3. Not leveraging automation
4. Not capturing patient information
5. Not having a consistent workflow
