What are the economic advantages to ophthalmology surgeon in performing surgery in an asc versus outpatient hospital surgery?

There are several benefits. The first would be that ambulatory surgery centers, for their own economic reasons, are set up to turn cases around quickly. This translates into surgeons being able to schedule more cases in a block than at a hospital and/or the surgeon could finish his cases sooner and perhaps return to the office to see patients there. Another advantage is that typically surgery center costs are around 47% less than a full-service hospital. This could translate into lowering a patient's out-of-pocket costs depending on their policy. Choosing a surgeon that performs cases in an ambulatory surgery center may be a deciding factor for many patients when initially choosing a surgeon.
