Ready to reach new heights with the right ASC partner?Successful and profitable physician-owned ASCs may seek a partner to take their business to the next level. Meridian typically acquires a majority interest in established ASCs, allowing physicians to receive an attractive return on investment for the time and resources they have expended to develop a successful facility.
Meridian then works closely with the physician partnership to continue to grow the facility organically as well as through physician recruitment efforts and expansion.
Meridian seeks ASC partnerships with these characteristics:
- Multi-specialty facility (free standing or part of a medical office building)
- Two to four fully-equipped operating rooms, one to two treatment rooms and ancillary areas for reception, pre-operative preparation, recovery, and administration
- Located in close proximity to physicians’ offices
- Utilized by only licensed physicians who have been approved by the center’s medical credentialing committee
Meridian considers the following when evaluating a new partnership:
- Physician partnership and market demographics
- Capacity for growth (physical and partnership)
- Payor mix with a majority of in-network contracts
- Surgical case volume
Physician benefits of a partnership with Meridian:
- Return on investment
- Decreased risk
- Access to capital resources
- Readily accessible senior management team
- Maximized case volume and revenue
- Increased opportunities for organic and external growth
