Ambulatory Surgery Center Development
In certain situations, ASCOA partners with physicians to develop a new ambulatory surgery center. In addition to its core ASC Management process, ASCOA performs all the necessary applications for certificate of need (CON), CON waivers, state licenses, Medicare, accreditation and other necessary requirements. Since many ambulatory surgery centers are overbuilt, ASCOA carefully analyzes the case volume, costs, and reimbursement for all surgeon partners. This analysis and subsequent pro forma then impact the design, construction and capital equipment procurement for the ASC.
All new ASCOA development projects follow our proven surgical center development financial model, based on lessens learned with centers nationwide.
ASCOA and its legal counsel work through any leasing or permitting issues. Then, ASCOA oversees the construction process from the initial designs to obtaining the certificate of occupancy. Once the surgery center opens, ASCOA continues to recruit additional physicians to join the center and contribute to its overall case volume.
