PainCare Ancillary Services
Surgery Centers

PainCare's focus on ancillary development for physicians includes state-of- the-art Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs).

A physician cannot work more hours or see more patients than they already do to offset the dwindling reimbursements and increasing expenses that come with running a practice. The only solution is to add ancillary services. ASC's provide an ancillary service that allows the physician to have ownership of an entity where they have a say in the quality of care provided as well as the services that are rendered.


PainCare has analyzed the concerns voiced by a majority of surgeons and, in turn, has been proactive in providing solutions to these concerns, which include:

Management of the facility: PainCare provides the highest quality management team with extensive experience. PainCare's senior management team will oversee the on-site management and provide whatever help and guidance necessary. 

Physician participation: Physicians object to being in a minority position of ownership but unlike many surgery center developers, PainCare will participate in a minority ownership position which allows the physician to enjoy majority ownership. 
Management Control: The responsibility of the-day-to-day management will be PainCare's, however, there will be a rotating medical board of advisors who will be responsible for directing that management, with particular emphasis on quality control. 
Equipment and Supplies: PainCare will depend on the medical advisory board to help select the equipment and supplies to be used in the facility. 


PainCare uses the following process to assess the viability of a given surgery center:

Starting with the physician participation, it is determined that the physician performs a sufficient amount of procedures, justifying the expense of developing a facility. 
A pro forma is developed to provide a financial picture that includes all aspects of the developmental and ongoing operating costs to assess the point of breakeven and potential for profit.

A plan for implementation is developed, including policies and procedures, human resources, contracting, accreditations and licenses, business plan, continuing training and education, medical directorship, marketing, and advertising.

An architectural and interior plan for the center is developed and critiqued by PainCare and the participating physicians. 
A plan for staffing and training is presented and critiqued by PainCare and the participating physicians before implementation.
