FAQ's

Q.Does SurgCenter Development charge for their planning and development services?

A.No, SurgCenter facilitates the development process of the surgery center in coordination with the nurse manager to develop an efficient and surgeon-friendly center. No development fees are paid to any corporations or individuals.

Q.Does SurgCenter Development address not-for-profit and religious hospital issues such as community benefit and charity guidelines, religious directives consistent with the mission of the hospital?

A.Yes, SurgCenter Development will make every effort to reflect the mission and vision of the hospital and surgeon owners in all of its practices and procedures. SurgCenter Development's legal counsel will work collaboratively with hospital legal counsel to address any of these or other related issues in the Operating Agreement.

Q.Does SurgCenter Development recognize the importance of compliance with state and federal laws related to hospital-surgeon joint ventures?

A.Yes, SurgCenter Development's legal counsel will work with the hospital legal counsel to ensure compliance with all current state and federal laws regarding the hospital-surgeon relationships. Where appropriate, conditions, responsibilities and authorities will be clearly designated in the reserved powers of the Operating Agreement.

Q.Does SurgCenter Development recruit non-owners as users for the center?

A.SurgCenter ASC's are usually constructed for owner-users convenience. Although adding non-owner users will typically increase the profitability of a center, there tends to be a trade-off with a decrease in the available block time for owner-users. This decision is typically left to the local owner surgeons to decide. We suggest not adding non-owner users until after at least one full year of operation.

Q.What is the average length of time from project initiation to project completion?

A.On average, it takes approximately one year from our initial meeting with you until you can commence performing surgery at your center.

Q.What is the price per unit/share ownership?

A.Typically the range is $5,000-7,000 per one percent. This applies to all parties including SurgCenter Development. The range of $5,000-7,000 per one percent ownership is usually divided into 3 installments over a 6 to 8 month period.

Q.What is the typical size of your surgery centers?

A.Our centers average about 5,000 square feet, which would include 2 operating rooms and 1 treatment room.

Q.Do you have single-specialty centers?

A.Yes. However, most of our centers are multi-specialty. Multi-specialty centers are more buffered against changes in health care. In addition, multi-specialty centers are generally considered more valuable.

Q.What are the advantages of single vs. multiple specialty centers?

A.Multi-specialty centers generally have higher start-up costs due to the varied amount of equipment required. Multi-specialty centers also require larger amounts of storage for supplies and equipment.

Q.How does SurgCenter Development differ from other development companies?

A.The roots of our company are surgeon-based. Therefore, most of our corporate philosophy and actions are geared to surgeon convenience and not just profit.

Q.How successful are you with obtaining managed care contracts?

A.Nationally, our results are approximately 80 to 90% of the contracts we wish to obtain.

Q.How do I find out if my state has a Certificate of Need requirement?

A.Contact us and we will be happy to assist you with this requirement.

Q.How many cases does it take to make an ASC successful?

A.This is a frequently asked question. However, the answer is based on the type of procedures, the insurance mix, the size of the proposed facility and the number of specialties. Generally, 100 cases per month will lead to a profitable center.
