Revenue opportunities for physicians

As doctors see their reimbursements fall and more state regulations on the rise, there is a way to make lemonade out of all these lemons. About 16 states and counting are requiring accreditation for Office Based Surgery involving moderate sedation or higher forms of sedation. By becoming accredited as an OBS, you can qualify for surgery suite fees from many health plans. Several regional and national plans provide special reimbursement programs for accredited Office Based Surgery providers and direct their members to these OBS providers for common outpatient procedures, such as colonoscopies, breast reconstructions, cystoscopies, bunionectomies, and more. Perhaps your medical practice can qualify to become an accredited Office Based Surgery suite and reap the benefits offered by the health plans who are striving to direct their members to more cost effective and accredited, high quality providers.
