At AAO 2024, Lance Kugler, MD discusses how office-based surgery benefits patients, surgeons, and payors. “People that are doing office-based surgery, they’re getting paid. Insurance companies by and large are recognizing the office-based surgery center as a place that they can bill for surgery. It’s an evolving process and each payer treats it a little bit differently, but they’re certainly getting paid and there are ways to help educate the payers on what’s being done.” Watch the full interview: https://bit.ly/3YVKpFc #LanceKuglerMD #OfficeBasedSurgery #KuglerVision #iORPartners

The anesthesia provider shortage continues to be an issue for surgeons operating in ASCs. Becker’s ASC Review reported on a new anesthesia model that some facilities are testing. “The anesthesia group will send a bill to the surgeon for $300 for each case that they were short, resulting in a bill of $600 in this scenario. So the financial hit will fall on the surgeon, not the center.” Read more: https://bit.ly/3YZbmc9 #AnesthesiaShortage #BeckersASC

?? Exciting insights from #AAO2024! ?? Ophthalmologists gathered in Chicago to tackle the future of eye care. A trending topic was the use of oral sedation for ophthalmic procedures to combat the projected 30% shortage of anesthesia providers in the next decade. ??? Key highlights: Oral Sedation Benefits:?Studies show that mild sedation for cataract surgery enhances safety, results in less patient movement/better cooperation, and also improves patient experience—lower anxiety, quicker recovery, and no fasting required. Surgeon Control:?In OBS, the surgeon decides the appropriate anesthesia level for each patient, ensuring personalized care. Patient-Centric Approach:?Less medical stress, familiar environment, and a comforting atmosphere lead to better outcomes. Join the conversation and tell us how you are navigating through the anesthesia provider shortage. ????? #Ophthalmology #PatientCare #OralSedation #SurgeryInnovation #OfficeBasedSurgery https://bit.ly/4flPVI2
