Keep Your Surgery Center Profitable With Healthcare Automation
Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) are facing an unprecedented squeeze. Operating costs continue to rise, while staffing shortages and wage competition from hospitals make it difficult to keep revenue cycle teams fully staffed. At the same time, verification and intake errors are eating into margins and delaying collections, particularly as case volumes increase and payer requirements grow more complex.
Fuse helps surgery centers stay profitable by automating the most error-prone parts of the revenue cycle. From insurance verification to patient intake and cost estimation, Fuse ensures every case is verified, authorized, and financially cleared before surgery day. The result: fewer last-minute cancellations, fewer denials, and more time for staff to focus on surgical coordination and patient care.
Stop Revenue Leakage From Verification Errors
Eligibility and authorization errors are among the top causes of lost revenue for surgery centers. Complex procedures, multiple specialties, and bundled billing codes make manual verification a slow and error-prone process. A single missed authorization or incorrect eligibility record can delay payment or lead to a complete denial.
Fuse automates insurance verification at the CPT level, checking benefits, coverage details, and authorization requirements for every surgical case. Practices catch issues early, before patients arrive or anesthesia is scheduled, preventing denials and ensuring payment is secure. Automated verification also keeps the scheduling process smooth, so operating rooms stay full and revenue keeps moving.
Automated Patient Intake Built for Surgical Volume
Surgery centers rely on accurate patient data to maintain throughput. But front offices often face bottlenecks collecting insurance information, consent forms, and medical history during peak hours. Even small errors at check-in can lead to billing delays or claim denials.
Fuse eliminates manual intake headaches with secure, mobile-friendly forms that patients complete before arrival. The platform automatically captures insurance cards and confirms consent documentation. For high-volume ASCs, this means faster registration, cleaner claims, and fewer administrative touchpoints, all without adding staff to an already stretched team.
Patient Cost Estimates That Support Upfront Collection
As deductibles rise, patients shoulder a larger portion of surgical costs, and many hesitate to move forward without clear pricing. Uncertainty about financial responsibility is one of the leading causes of cancellations and unpaid balances in surgery centers.
Fuse generates accurate, real-time patient cost estimates using live insurance data for each procedure. Staff can confidently review expected out-of-pocket costs with patients ahead of time, improving transparency and helping collect payments before surgery. Practices reduce bad debt, accelerate collections, and improve patient satisfaction by eliminating surprise billing.
Protect Your Competitive Edge Against Hospital Systems
Independent ASCs increasingly compete with hospital networks for both patients and physician relationships. Hospitals can offer higher salaries and large-scale infrastructure but often at the cost of efficiency and patient experience.
Fuse helps surgery centers maintain their competitive edge by running leaner, more efficient operations. Automation reduces overhead while improving financial accuracy, enabling your center to demonstrate real value: lower costs, faster scheduling, and a better experience for surgeons and patients alike. Efficiency becomes your differentiator and your defense against hospital consolidation.
Handle Higher Acuity Without Higher Overhead
As more orthopedic, spine, and cardiovascular procedures shift to outpatient settings, surgery centers face greater administrative complexity. Higher-acuity cases mean stricter prior authorization and more detailed documentation requirements.
Fuse scales with your growth, automating the administrative processes that accompany more advanced procedures. From verifying high-cost implants to managing payer-specific pre-certifications, Fuse ensures that your ASC can expand case mix and revenue without expanding headcount. It’s operational efficiency designed for the new generation of outpatient surgery.
