The data comes from the Medscape “Physician Compensation Report” for 2023, which surveyed 10,011 physicians across more than 29 specialties about their income, work hours, job satisfaction and more from Oct. 7 to Jan. 17.

Here is how anesthesiologists responded when asked if they were planning to drop insurers that pay the least: 

Yes: 16 percent 

No, I need all payers: 30 percent 

No, it’s inappropriate: 18 percent 

No, for other reasons: 36 percent 

 

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.
