ASC Manager Issue 2
Healthcare providers have seen a steady stream of inpatient-only procedures migrate to ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) over the past few years. Medicare is reimbursing an increasing number of procedures performed in the outpatient setting, many of them cardiovascular in nature. This issue of ASC Manager explores the development of a hybrid office-based lab/ASC model for managing many of these cases. We also provide a roadmap for how to add total joints to an ASC’s repertoire.
