At the Georgia ASC 2026 Winter Meeting held in February, Mike Scribner and Kelly Mooney of Strategic Healthcare Partners, LLC shared a market‑driven perspective on how ambulatory surgery centers can navigate today’s evolving managed care environment.

The presentation examined payer and regulatory pressures, site‑of‑service migration, and the growing role of employer‑directed and bundled pricing strategies. Encompassed within real‑world experience, the presentation emphasized practical approaches for ASCs to strengthen their value proposition, regain leverage, and diversify revenue beyond traditional fee‑for‑service models.

And, thank you to all the attendees and the GA ASC Association for another great opportunity. See the Powerpoint below.

Why is Managed Care Contracting most essential to your revenue stream?

Contract language and reimbursement rates are the driving force behind a payer’s payment structure. Charge levels, charge capture, clinical coding, as well as billing, payment posting, and appeal processes affect overall reimbursement.

Additionally, aging managed care contracts may lack mechanisms that allow for appropriate reimbursement for new services, new locations and chargemaster increases.

Why is insightful analytics more critical now than ever?

Understanding your data is essential to understanding how your facility is performing from an operational, financial, and population health standpoint. In addition, as payment models move from fee-for-service to value based care, it’s critical to understand and control your outcomes.

Fee-for-service set pricing for years, but value-based care makes analytics imperative. Payment models rewarding outcome-driven quality and cost control require data.

Your ASC Needs to Stop Flying Blind and Build a Smarter Reporting Cadence.

Listen Today!

What if your ASC could see problems weeks before they hit your bank account? We dig into a practical playbook for turning raw data into clear decisions, from daily flash reports that act like a heartbeat to monthly benchmarks that expose where performance drifts and why. Instead of waiting for cash-basis financials to tell a late story, we focus on questions that move leaders to action: Where did payer mix shift? Which referrals slowed? Are we prioritizing the right cases at capacity? And are our fee schedules quietly capping revenue?

We share a simple, powerful benchmark strategy: index everything to Medicare. With that lens, a steady month of cases can still produce a revenue dip if Medicaid volume rises or a commercial contract underperforms. Using NPIs to track referral sources brings transparency to relationships, helping you target outreach when a group’s volume fades. Then we layer in forecasting: take the last 90–180 days, project cash forward, incorporate known inflows and takebacks, and set thresholds so partner distributions and capital decisions stop being guesses and start being planned.
