You cant encourage surgeries to move out of the facility to non facility locations if you dont have non facility reimbursement for those surgeries...
Can you expand on this a bit? Are you referring to insurers not always covering OBS?
Other fields like GI are basically getting pushed to do colonoscopies to OBS to preserve reimbursement. Will cataracts be the same way? Or are we facing the 11% cut regardless of where we do the surgery? I knew that the push to do procedures was incoming for specialties, I guess this is one way of forcing that to happen?
Long term, I think many practices will either force an upgrade or completely kick off insurance plans and go the concierge/cash-only route.
