Capitol City Surgery Center

What Capitol City Surgery Center does

Capitol City Surgery Center (CCSC) is a multi-specialty ambulatory surgery center (ASC) operating from a single facility at 23 Sunnybrook Road, Suite 100, Raleigh, North Carolina, inside the WakeMed Raleigh Medical Park. The center was opened in June 2012 as a joint venture between WakeMed Health & Hospitals, community-based physicians across the Triangle area, and Compass Surgical Partners, an ASC management company. It is structured as a private limited liability company (Capital City Surgery Center, LLC) with physician co-ownership for many of the surgeons who operate at the facility.

CCSC delivers same-day outpatient surgery across nine specialty lines: general surgery, orthopedic surgery, ophthalmology, otolaryngology (ENT) and neurotology, interventional pain management, pediatric surgery, spine surgery, total joint replacement (knee, hip, shoulder), and urology. The facility holds AAAHC full accreditation, Medicare certification, HIPAA compliance, and AAAHC Advanced Orthopaedic Certification for Total Joint and Complex Spine, currently held for three years. Patient-facing technology includes One Medical Passport for online pre-surgical health-history intake, a CardPointe-powered online bill-pay portal, and a Clariti Health cost-estimation tool. The center has been ranked the #1 ambulatory surgery center in North Carolina by Newsweek/Statista for four consecutive years (2021-2024).

CCSC generates revenue through facility fees for outpatient surgery, reimbursements from Medicare, NC Medicaid, and a broad commercial insurance panel (Aetna, BCBS NC, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, Tricare, VA CCN, and others), separate billing for specialty implants, and patient co-pays and deductibles paid via CareCredit, cash, or card. Patient acquisition is referral-driven through affiliated surgeon practices and the WakeMed partnership, with secondary demand generation via the website, patient-education content, and earned-media placements tied to the Newsweek ranking. The headcount band of 11-50 employees reflects a single-site operation; no expansion, funding event, or acquisition has been disclosed in the input data.
