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.
