The partnership will place CareMount anesthesiologists in each of Gramercy’s ASCs, according to an April 5 news release.
“In-network multispecialty surgery centers such as Gramercy are becoming a vital part of New York’s healthcare infrastructure,” said Rafael Axen, MD, senior medical director at CareMount Medical. “Patients, providers, and payers are looking to move cases into the lowest-cost setting without sacrificing quality of care. It’s a trend that has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Despite the deal, Gramercy’s centers will remain unaffiliated with major health systems and will continue to work with all credentialed surgeons across the specialties it offers.
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.
