Scott Becker, JD, CPA: It is not common for the physicians to earn a management fee for managing a center. In some situations they are actually serving in a true management capacity and do get paid a management fee. Here they may have set up a group to provide management services and the management fee must be fair market value. It is preferred that it be a fixed annual fee.
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.
