Four things to know:
1. The ASC most recently invested in a Navio Robotics-assisted Surgical System for knee replacements. The center completed its first surgery using the system on Oct. 18.
2. If a payer agrees to pay cash in full on the day of service and assures payment in conjunction with preauthorization, SGSC surgeons can perform a knee replacement using Navio for as low as $14,990, according to Dr. Todd.
3. SGSC also invested in the Hana Table for total hip replacement using the anterior approach. The Hana Table was an $80,000 investment, Dr. Todd said.
4. If a payer agrees to pay cash in full on the day of service and assures payment in conjunction with preauthorization, SGSC could offer anterior hip replacement using the Hana Table for $17,985. That cost would cover the surgeon, anesthesia, facility and implant fees, as well as a first overnight stay, if necessary.
“The hospital cannot compete without losing lots of money, while at those prices, we maintain very healthy margins,” Dr. Todd said.
