Becker's Healthcare February 20, 2025
Rising healthcare costs and restrictive policies are creating significant challenges for ASCs, potentially threatening their ability to provide cost-effective, high-quality care.
Joe Peluso, administrator at Aestique Surgical Center in Greensburg, Pa., joined Becker’s to discuss his perspective on the policy changes needed to drive sustainability and improve patient access for ASCs.
Editor’s note: Responses have been lightly edited for clarity and length.
Joe Peluso: Rising healthcare costs are not sustainable, since the burden is felt by patients and businesses every day through higher premiums and out-of-pocket costs. Americans are concerned about being able to pay for healthcare services and the viability of Medicare in the future. Solutions must address the misaligned incentives that are fueling cost growth.
