Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC) are an integral and well-established part of our nation’s health care system.
- An ambulatory surgery center (ASC) is a health care facility that performs outpatient surgical procedures for patients who do not require an overnight stay.
- The first U.S. surgery center opened in 1970 and today there are more than 5,300 surgery centers in the United States
- Almost 75% of all surgery today is performed on an outpatient basis. In 1980 that figure was only 15%.
- Surgery centers save the Medicare system an estimated $2.6 billion annually by offering a high quality, low cost alternative to hospital-based surgery.
