Reducing costs for health plans

Health plans are discovering the lower cost solution of accredited Office Based Surgery for many high volume procedures, such as colonoscopies, carpal tunnel repairs, bunionectomies, etc. With savings of a few hundred dollars per procedure over the thousands of colonoscopies done each year we deliver significant bottom line results for health plans. For instance, colonoscopies are being done at the rate of about 30,000 procedures per million health plan members. A savings of a few hundred dollars by moving a significant portion of these procedures out of the hospital outpatient setting to the accredited office based surgery suite will greatly benefit all of us....the health plans, the physicians, and the patients.
