Severko Hrywnak, MD, DPM, CEO of Advanced ASC: "The ongoing lag of reimbursement being behind the costs to run a procedure, the disparity between ASC reimbursement and hospital outpatient departments, the trend to keep reducing reimbursement and the pre-certification process that permits a procedure but after the procedure is done, a reason is then given of why it is not being covered."
