Same-center revenues were flat for the quarter.
For the year, AmSurg reported an 8 percent increase in revenues and the addition of seven ambulatory surgery centers, three of which were added during the fourth quarter.
Christopher Holden, AmSurg CEO, said he expects AmSurg to experience same-center revenues in a range of 0 percent to a negative 1 percent and the addition of 18-20 new centers in 2011.
He anticipates a much better 2012, according to the news release, with AmSurg benefitting from the completion of reductions in Medicare rate reimbursement in 2011, with no scheduled reduction in Medicare rates for 2012 for the first time in four years.
