Site neutrality is no longer a future concept. It is now impacting ASC reimbursement and strategy in real time.

The 2026 CMS Final Rule is narrowing the gap between hospital outpatient departments and ambulatory surgery centers. That shift is creating new opportunities for case migration, but it is also increasing competition and raising the stakes for independent centers.

How ASCs respond, through contracting, service line strategy, and operational readiness, will determine where that volume ultimately goes. https://www.smpsd.com/blog/site-neutrality-is-no-longer-a-theory-heres-what-it-means-for-your-asc/

Many operational problems in surgery centers remain hidden until someone takes the time to examine the full system.

Operational improvements do not always require major disruption. Often, the biggest gains come from small adjustments made consistently over time.

Refining scheduling workflows, reviewing supply utilization, improving documentation accuracy, or aligning staff roles with case volume can strengthen both efficiency and financial performance.

The most successful ASCs focus on repeatable systems that support long-term stability and growth.
