What should our community know about the North Platte Surgery Center?The North Platte Surgery Center (NPSC) is licensed as an independent,freestanding ambulatory surgery center (ASC) and performs surgeries thatdo not require an over-night admission following the surgical procedure(s).Every patient has the choice where their surgery will be performed. Askingyour doctor to perform your surgery in an ASC, such the NPSC, can saveyou significant money and time and will provide you and your doctor with thehighest level of surgical quality, convenience and efficiency.NPSC is a multi-specialty ASC with over 35 physicians within 12 differentspecialties performing an average of 4,200 cases per year. North Platte'scommunity physicians have a high preference for utilizing NPSC due to itsexcellent staff and operation efficiency.

How long has the North Platte Surgery Center been in operation andhow long have ASCs been in existence?NPSC celebrated its 8th year of operation in May 2011 and has successfullygrown and served North Platte and 15 surrounding counties each year since 2003.The first ASC opened in 1970 and today over 20 million surgeries are performedeach year in the more than 6,000 surgery centers across the United States.

What types of surgeries are performed at North Platte Surgery Center?NPSC performs, among many others, the following procedures within the following specialties; Orthopedics, General Surgery, Ophthalmology, InternalMedicine, Family Physicians, ENT, Podiatry, GYN, and Oral.

Why are ASCs, and specifically the North Platte Surgery Center, thebest choice for outpatient surgery?1. Patient safety and satisfaction is always the number one goal and our 98.8%patient satisfaction is driven by our staff expertise, convenience and efficiency.2. Cost-effectiveness. Each year, Medicare saves an estimated $3 billionbecause procedures are performed at ASCs, rather than hospital outpatientdepartments (HOPDs) due to different reimbursement models. Patients likeASCs because they bring them value. A study conducted by BlueCross/Blue Shield revealed that, on average, procedures that are performedin ASCs cost 47% less than those same procedures performed in hospitaloutpatient departments (HOPDs).The keys to the success of NPSC are cost-effective surgery, high patientand physician satisfaction, and a superior staff. Ask your doctor to performyour surgery at NPSC so you can "experience the best".
