ASC related topics for surgery centers
An Ambulatory Surgery Center or ASC has the potential to result in many benefits for the Owners and Physician users as well as for the Patients who undergo outpatient surgery at the facility. An ASC will be successful given sufficient surgical volumes, a good payer mix, a well-designed and professionally managed facility, and the right partnership structure among ASC Owners and Physician users. On the other hand, the absence of these and related key ingredients will, in all likelihood, lead to the failure of the ASC.
Before investing in an ASC, either Physicians or Hospitals should pose one very simple but critical question: Do we have a feasible plan related to the opening of the ASC? The performance of a thorough and professional Market Feasibility Analysis should be the first (and perhaps most important) step in considering such a significant investment. This Analysis should directly answer key questions such as: Do we have sufficient committed Surgeons and projected case volumes? Can we be successful with the projected payer mix and related reimbursement? Who is our competition? Have we chosen the best location for the ASC? Is our ownership model the best one?
