Some of my colleagues in OB-GYN are scheduled to begin performing gynecological procedures at a new venue this month, a surgery center that's just added the specialty to its lineup of services. Adding GYN is an idea the center's partners had been considering for some time, but which had taken a back seat to the possibility of adding GI services. Given the impact that Medicare's changes to its ASC payment system wreaked on GI, those plans were shelved, but Medicare's favoring some GYN procedures in the outpatient arena, and it's likely that commercial payors aren't far behind. Here are some insights on how your facility, too, might profit from the situation.
