The group is local. Over time they have grown to 15 physicians, mainly to facilitate our growth as well as the expanded cardiac and women’s health services at the hospital. Since we are the only two customers they service and because we are located within walking distance of each other, they are interested in retaining us as their customer. Consequently, they are very service oriented. They are aware that we could (and would) look to another group if we needed to.
The biggest benefit to us is that we don’t have to ‘manage’ the physicians and/or their billing. The advantage to them is that we provide all supplies and equipment and a large volume of procedures.
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.
