Have a question about logistics/legality of a pain practice set-up...
Currently have a clinic practice (with no flouro room) adjacent to our own ASC (separated by a wall). Therefore basically all procedures are being done in the ASC. For HMO / out-of-network patients, they are being taken to an in-network ASC at a different location. Ideally, would like to keep these patients in-house and perform "office-based" procedures on them but would like to avoid putting in a separate fluoro room on the clinic side of our practice due to lack of space. Would also be nice to start doing simple injections in this new "office-based" set up so patients don't have to wait (and also is an overall cost-saving and more efficient).
Currently our ASC is only being utilized 3 days a week. I have heard it is possible to use the ASC fluoro room on the days when the ASC is not being utilized for "office-based" procedures. Can anyone shine any light on this? Does anything need to be done prior to beginning to do this? Any insight is appreciated...
