Effective July 1, physician-owned single specialty and joint venture single specialty ASCs will be able to allow non-owners to perform operations at facilities, provided they are of the same surgical specialty as the ASC. 

The amendment also allows for the owner or operator of a surgery center to enter into a management or administrative services agreement, the article said.

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.
