Regional Medical Center is challenging the state’s approval of a $12.5 million physician-owned ASC, according to the Oct. 31 report.

The hospital wants to build its own $2. 4 million ASC, and has received a certificate of need from the state to build it.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
