The timeshare model has come to outpatient surgery, according to an article on the Outpatient Surgery website. A dual-licensed ambulatory surgical center has opened in Littleton, Colo.
The joint venture is between a hospital and a neurosurgeon who will lease one operating room and staff on the first and third Fridays of each month.
A little-known CMS ruling lets ASCs operate as timeshare properties if they're dually licensed by the states in which they operate.
In some states, multiple ASCs may use the same physical space, including the same ORs, as long as they do not have concurrent or overlapping hours of operation.
