Physician preference items can account for a majority of an ASC’s supply chain costs, according to Ann Castro, BroadJump’s vice president of non-acute sales.

A supply chain tip Ms. Castro shared with Becker’s ASC Review:

“It’s easier for a single-specialty to know exactly where [its] case costing is. If you’re not watching your preference cards or case costing, you really could be losing revenue. If your costs outweigh what’s being reimbursed, that’s not an ideal way to increase your revenue. Focusing on what encompasses that procedure — and the implant is going to be the biggest part — would be the first area to focus on.”
