Leading The Way In Outpatient Surgery What should our community know about the North Platte Surgery Center? The North Platte Surgery Center (NPSC) is licensed as an independent, freestanding ambulatory surgery center (ASC) and performs surgeries that do not require an over-night admission following the surgical procedure(s). Every patient has the choice where their surgery will be performed. Asking your doctor to perform your surgery in an ASC, such the NPSC, can save you significant money and time and will provide you and your doctor with the highest level of surgical quality, convenience and efficiency. NPSC is a multi-specialty ASC with over 35 physicians within 12 different specialties performing an average of 4,200 cases per year. North Platte's community physicians have a high preference for utilizing NPSC due to its excellent staff and operation efficiency. How long has the North Platte Surgery Center been in operation and how long have ASCs been in existence? NPSC celebrated its 8th year of operation in May 2011 and has successfully grown and served North Platte and 15 surrounding counties each year since 2003. The first ASC opened in 1970 and today over 20 million surgeries are performed each year in the more than 6,000 surgery centers across the United States. What types of surgeries are performed at North Platte Surgery Center? NPSC performs, among many others, the following procedures within the following specialties; Orthopedics, General Surgery, Ophthalmology, Internal Medicine, Family Physicians, ENT, Podiatry, GYN, and Oral. Why are ASCs, and specifically the North Platte Surgery Center, the best choice for outpatient surgery? 1. Patient safety and satisfaction is always the number one goal and our 98.8% patient satisfaction is driven by our staff expertise, convenience and efficiency. 2. Cost-effectiveness. Each year, Medicare saves an estimated $3 billion because procedures are performed at ASCs, rather than hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) due to different reimbursement models. Patients like ASCs because they bring them value. A study conducted by Blue Cross/Blue Shield revealed that, on average, procedures that are performed in ASCs cost 47% less than those same procedures performed in hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs). The keys to the success of NPSC are cost-effective surgery, high patient and physician satisfaction, and a superior staff. Ask your doctor to perform your surgery at NPSC so you can "experience the best".
