Here are three more notes on ASC consolidation:
1. Because of the highly fragmented industry, there’s room for ASC consolidation at the individual facility level, according to the report.
2. From 2011 to 2023, the number of ASCs under partnership by a national operator saw a compound annual growth rate of 3.14% — from approximately 1,339 centers to 1,941 centers.
3. The top five ASC management companies — United Surgical Partners International, SCA Health, HCA Healthcare, AmSurg and Surgery Partners — increased the number of centers under management by an average of 4.85% each year since 2011.
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.
