Surgeries taking place in the outpatient ambulatory setting are not just on the rise - they are accelerating faster than most forecasts.
First, more procedures have become Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) eligible:
97.5% of the 76,700 surgical cases examined over a 12-month period for a large, multihospital academic medical center were eligible to be performed in the ASC setting based on commercial payer eligibility for ASC reimbursement and with consideration of comorbidities. The surgical specialties examined included: gastroenterology/endoscopy, ophthalmology, general surgery, orthopedics, general surgery, urology, gynecology, pain management, otolaryngology, total joint replacements (excludes revisions), and spine. https://www.beckersasc...
