Dear Surgical Assistants in Houston, Texas, and surrounding areas,
We are excited to announce a groundbreaking new program introduced by Universal Surgical Partners that is set to revolutionize the way surgical assistance is billed and managed, offering unprecedented benefits and opportunities for our valued professionals.
In this new program, surgical assistants will have the opportunity to bill for their services independently while enjoying benefits akin to being employed. As independent contractors, you will have the potential to become shareholders in our company following a due diligence period and years of dedicated work with Universal Surgical Partners.
This program comes at a critical juncture where the surgical assistant industry is facing various challenges, including the impact of legislative acts such as the No Surprise Act (NSA) and Qualified Payment Amounts (QPA) criteria. We believe that by uniting as a community, we can ensure fair compensation for your services from patients, physician offices, insurance companies, and hospitals.
Our collective efforts will not only strengthen individual surgical assistants but also fortify the entire industry. We are committed to lobbying efforts with legislators to safeguard the future of surgical assistants and prevent the industry from facing undue challenges.
One of the key features of this program is the guarantee of payment before scheduling operative procedures. This ensures that every encounter with a patient, before any surgical intervention, is backed up by a guaranteed payment from the facility, hospital, and or physicians. This crucial shift will empower surgical assistants to focus on their practice without worrying about financial uncertainties.
We invite you to join us in our upcoming webinar where we will delve deeper into the details of this program and how it can positively impact your livelihood as a practicing surgical assistant provider.
Thank you for your dedication and commitment to excellence in surgical assistance. We look forward to embarking on this transformative journey together.
Warm Regards,
Pearl Vuorinen, RN & VP Operations
