2. The practice also achieved a lower surgical infection rate and saved $10 million annually by utilizing ASCs.
3. SurgOne is participating in the Colorado Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative, a federally funded network intended to help providers navigate compensation changes resulting from the shift to value-based reimbursement.
