Regent Surgical Health

What Regent Surgical Health does

Regent Surgical Health is a private, for-profit ASC management and development company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee. The company develops, owns, and operates a network of 30+ ambulatory surgery centers across 13+ U.S. states through joint venture partnerships with leading health systems — including Mass General Brigham, Cleveland Clinic, Ascension, Henry Ford Health, Lee Health, Providence, RWJBarnabas, ScionHealth, and UAB Medicine — and with physician practices spanning orthopedics, spine, endoscopy, gastroenterology, general surgery, and pediatrics. Regent serves two primary customer segments: large health systems seeking to expand outpatient surgical capacity and capture cost efficiencies, and physician practices seeking ASC ownership opportunities, operational support, and revenue diversification.

The company's core product is its ASC network platform, augmented by a comprehensive management services stack covering revenue cycle management (including 99.42% clean claim rates and 0.6% denial rates), clinical quality and safety programs (93% CMS OAS CAHPS top-box score, 96th-97th percentile culture-of-safety ranking), supply chain services via The Resource Group GPO, managed care contracting, IT/cybersecurity, legal/compliance, and HR support. A proprietary enterprise analytics platform — described as industry-leading informatics connecting operational, financial, and clinical data — underpins these services and has been extended with an AI-based agent for predictive intelligence and administrative automation.

Regent's revenue model is managed services: the company captures economics through development fees, management service agreements, and equity participation in JV entities with health systems and physicians. The firm employs 1,001-5,000 people and reports 650+ physician utilizers, 100K+ annual cases, and high customer satisfaction scores (+94 physician NPS, +93 patient NPS, +92 employee NPS). Since September 2025 alone, the company has added 10+ new centers and entered new specialties (pediatric, spine) and new geographies (Idaho, Florida). The company is led by CEO Travis Messina (former founder of Contessa, sold to Amedisys in 2021) with a leadership team largely drawn from USPI, Amedisys/Contessa, and other major healthcare operators.
