In three states, the most costly ASCs focus on orthopedic and spine care. 

Sage’s facility prices include the service fees but do not include physician fees. The rankings are based on data collected from over 2,000 ASCs nationwide. 

Three states where the ASCs with the highest prices relative to Medicare are focused on orthopedic and spine care: 

New Mexico: New Mexico Orthopaedic Surgery Center (Albuquerque) 

South Carolina: The Southeastern Spine Institute Ambulatory Surgery Center (Mount Pleasant) 

Washington: Northwest Orthopaedic Surgeons (Mount Vernon)

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
