Free Standing Emergency Departments in California

8/16/2015

Free standing emergency departments owned and operated by physicians have proven successful in Texas since 2010.  We believe the next State that will realize a rapid growth in physician owned FSEDs will be the State of California.  In late 2012 our team worked with a group of physicians to develop a hybrid free standing emergency in Southern California that included a surgery center.  The billing company, Pacific Surgical Billing worked diligently to collect facility fees and have been very successful in doing so.  From the lessons learned since 2012 and by careful and thorough review of the California Health and Safety Codes, we believe California is poised to develop both physician owned and hospital owned free standing emergency departments.  The California Hospital Association has recently expressed interest in working the State legislature to create legislation in favor of free standing emergency departments.

Similar to the early days of Texas FSED's, Pacific Surgical Billing LLC ("PSB") has been able to bridge California's FSED reimbursement challenge with most major payers. Specializing in out-of-network facility reimbursement and the process required to appeal and collect additional sums on underpaid claims is one of a few key success factor's. Processing efficiency, expert coding, follow-up, thorough documentation, and good old fashioned diligence make up the other key ingredients. It's a pleasure to be working with Pete Peters on billing, collection, and overall FSED consulting.
