The Surgery Center

What The Surgery Center does

The Surgery Center is a privately-held, multi-specialty ambulatory surgery center (ASC) located at 1440 Highway Drive in Oxford, Alabama, between Birmingham and Atlanta. Founded in May 2000 as a 50/50 joint venture between RHMC (a subsidiary of Northeast Alabama Regional Medical Center) and Surgery Center Associates, L.L.C. (a physician-owned entity with 23 listed owners), the facility operates across a 33,000 square foot footprint containing four state-of-the-art operating rooms and two procedure rooms. It is licensed by the Alabama Department of Public Health, accredited by the AAAHC, and HIPAA compliant, serving approximately 45 affiliated surgeons across 11 surgical specialties including cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, ENT, gastroenterology, general surgery, gynecology, hand surgery, ophthalmology, oral surgery, orthopedics, pain management, podiatry, urology, and bariatric surgery.

The facility's core technology stack centers on outpatient surgical delivery supported by the Stryker Mako robotic-arm assisted surgery system for total knee, partial knee, and total hip joint replacements, with CT-based 3D planning and AccuStop technology. Clinical service is complemented by a comprehensive anesthesia team and pre-admission assessment workflow. Administrative operations are supported by One Medical Passport for online patient registration and a payment portal that integrates with CareCredit healthcare financing and standard credit cards. Patient services include multilingual interpreter access and dedicated pediatric accommodations.

The Surgery Center generates revenue primarily through transaction-based surgical facility fees that bundle procedure, supplies, medications, equipment, and recovery room charges. The facility files insurance on behalf of patients and collects deductibles, co-pays, and any uncovered amounts on the day of surgery, with separate billing for surgeon, anesthesia, durable medical equipment, lab, and pathology services. Marketing and patient acquisition are driven almost entirely by physician referrals from the 45 affiliated surgeons and a content-oriented website, with no public pricing, no mobile application, and no public API.

Broad incumbents

• HCA Healthcare: HCA Healthcare operates an extensive network of hospitals and outpatient surgery centers across the United States, including in the Southeast. It is comparable as a broad incumbent in the same regional outpatient surgery market where The Surgery Center competes, even though HCA's portfolio is dominated by full-service hospitals rather than freestanding ASCs.
• Tenet Healthcare: Tenet Healthcare owns USPI and operates a portfolio of acute care hospitals and ambulatory surgery facilities. It is comparable because The Surgery Center's JV partner (Northeast Alabama Regional Medical Center) competes in Tenet's footprint, and Tenet's USPI business model — hospital-partnered ASCs — directly mirrors The Surgery Center's structure.
• Surgery Partners: Surgery Partners is a large publicly-traded multi-specialty ASC operator with hundreds of facilities nationwide. It is comparable to The Surgery Center because both operate multi-specialty outpatient surgical facilities serving affiliated surgeons, but Surgery Partners operates at materially greater scale and geographic breadth.
• USPI (United Surgical Partners International): USPI, a subsidiary of Tenet Healthcare, is one of the largest ASC operators in the United States and frequently partners with hospital systems in joint ventures. It is comparable to The Surgery Center because USPI's portfolio centers on multi-specialty ASCs often structured with hospital partners — closely mirroring The Surgery Center's JV with RHMC.
• Envision Healthcare: Envision Healthcare historically operated ASCs (via legacy AmSurg) alongside physician services and anesthesia groups. It is comparable as a broad incumbent in the ambulatory surgical space and because many of its former ASCs operated on physician-ownership and JV models similar to The Surgery Center.

Others

• Stryker (Mako): Stryker manufactures the Mako robotic-arm assisted surgery system used at The Surgery Center. It is comparable as a critical technology supplier and ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor; Stryker's installed base of Mako systems is a key enabler of the orthopedic service line that distinguishes The Surgery Center's offering.

Direct peers

• SurgCenter Development: SurgCenter Development develops and manages multi-specialty ASCs frequently co-owned with hospital systems and physician partners. It is directly comparable to The Surgery Center because both operate as multi-specialty ASCs, frequently feature joint hospital ownership, and target similar outpatient surgical service lines including orthopedics, GI, and ENT.
• Regent Surgical Health: Regent Surgical Health develops and manages ASCs, including hospital joint-venture and physician-owned multi-specialty facilities. It is directly comparable to The Surgery Center because both focus on multi-specialty ASC operations supported by hospital partnerships and physician ownership, and both emphasize outpatient migration of higher-acuity procedures.
