The ASC decided to close on Aug. 12 because of “adverse business conditions,” according to its website.
The surgery center has appealed to former patients to follow through with payments as many “outstanding bills are due,” according to the report.
Medical records held by the surgery center are available through Cariend, a medical records company. “Requestors should be prepared to complete the records release authorization form and provide a copy of their government-issued photo ID, as required by the HIPAA laws,” the surgery center said on its website.
The ASC did not respond to Becker’s request for comment.
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.
