Luke Lambert (CEO of Ambulatory Surgical Centers of America): In a center that is 30-40 percent pain cases with the rest orthopedics, we see supply costs average $300-$350/case. Those are supplies actually used on the cases. As a percentage of revenue, that is about 17 percent for an in-network center, less if it is an out-of-network center.
