Bundled payments in ASCs: Good business or a race to the bottom?
Becker's Healthcare March 16, 2021
ASCs play an important role in the value-based care environment and more are considering bundled payments as part of their strategy.
Christina Goodall, RN, DNP, administrator of Atlanta Orthopedic Institute, said the ability to bundle services and negotiate with payers will give surgery centers the competitive edge over the next few years.
“ASCs that have an ability to bundle their services for specific procedures, will have the opportunity to negotiate directly with self-insured employers, enabling their employees to get concierge type services at reduced rates. By doing so, employers will reduce their loss time injuries and ensure that their employees receive high quality services in a controlled environment,” said Dr. Goodall.
