Your largest receivables are the ones you can least predict.
For physician-owned ASCs treating personal-injury cases under letters of protection.
What you're carrying
A lien-based spine or orthopedic case can run [X]0K to [X]0K billed — the largest individual receivables in the entire PI ecosystem.
A small number of open cases can represent a meaningful share of your AR, which means one settlement negotiation can move your quarter.
The first read
Concentration. ASCs typically discover their lien exposure sits with two or three referring firms and a handful of large cases — and that realization on the big cases runs materially different from the small ones.
Knowing which firm's cases actually collect changes which cases you take.
The sample report shows how concentration reads on a real closed book — a handful of firms carrying most of the reductions. Read the surgery centers sample report.
Compare your realization against the ASC median in the benchmarks before you renegotiate a referral relationship. See median realization by segment.
Who this is for
Physician-owned, independent centers. If your center is part of a hospital system or a management company that decides for you, this isn't your tool.
