Survey reveals findings on ASC valuation

Ambulatory Surgery Reimbursement Update, February 26, 2008

Healthcare Appraisers, Inc, has released its 5th annual study of ASCs in a survey entitled, "2008 ASC Valuation Survey: How do the ASC companies assess value?"

More than 300 ASCs nationwide are represented in the study, and 62% of respondents bought ASCs in 2007 and plan to buy additional surgery centers in 2008.

The survey found:

• Significant factors affecting an ASCs value are opportunities for growth, the specialties performed at the ASC, and the extent of physician ownership
• A continued preference for orthopedics, ear, nose and throat (ENT), and general surgery specialties because of favorable reimbursement rates for these specialties
• A continued high value of ASCs and strong competition for their purchase, despite recent changes in Medicare reimbursement
