Here is a look at how Dallas-based ASC-operating behemoth United Surgical Partners International has performed financially in 2023 thus far:
First quarter
USPI reported $340 million in adjusted earnings in the first quarter. The company saw 7.8% growth in same-facility volume, which is attributed to higher acuity service line expansion and growth in the company's physician population.

Its same-facility systemwide surgical cases were up 6.6% in the quarter and 7.2% since the start of 2023. Net revenue per case was up 2.9 percent for the quarter. By the end of the quarter, the company had ownership in 455 ASCs and 24 surgical hospitals in 35 states.
Third quarter
