Insights from an ASC Expert

February 25, 2021 - Should you self-manage your ASC or work with a professional ASC management company?
You might guess the answer will be biased towards partnering with a professional firm (I may know a guy), but my answer may surprise you.
For a surgeon considering the development of a de novo ASC, there are 3 primary management options to consider.
- Self-manage the partnership/facility – The obvious benefit to this option is the economics. The equity in an ASC is 100% physician-owned, and there is no additional ‘fee’ for management. There are some very successful centers that are managed by the physicians.
