On Nov. 6, the surgeon group asked SSM Health’s CEO for a patient continuity agreement, but the results of the request have not been released, according to the report.
It appears no agreement was reached, as many of the surgeons have already started to leave, when originally, they planned to stay through the end of the year.
One patient reportedly had his knee replacement surgery canceled just two days before the procedure was scheduled.
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.
