Harborside Surgery Center

What Harborside Surgery Center does

Harborside Surgery Center is a private, for-profit ambulatory surgery center (ASC) headquartered in National Harbor, Maryland, operating since 2011 and serving patients across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC. The facility is Medicare-certified, Maryland state-licensed, and fully accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), and was recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a Gold Best ASC for Orthopedics and Spine. It provides outpatient surgical services across five core specialties — ENT, General Surgery, Orthopedics, Pain Management, and Spine — as a lower-cost, lower-infection-rate alternative to hospital outpatient departments, with procedures typically costing 50–80% less than equivalent HOPD care.

The business model is a fee-for-service surgical services operation. Revenue is generated by billing for procedures performed at the facility, with patients paying coinsurance pre-operatively and the center submitting claims to insurance networks including Medicare, Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, and Tricare. Surgeons select their own staff and equipment, and patients receive one-to-one nursing care during recovery. Harborside also offers a Charity Care and sliding-scale Financial Assistance Program tied to HHS Poverty Guidelines, integrates CareCredit financing, and accepts online bill payment through Patient Notebook. Patient acquisition is primarily driven by physician referral networks and surgeon relationships, including affiliations with specialty practices such as the Anderson Orthopaedic Clinic and the National Breast Center, rather than direct-to-consumer marketing.

In December 2022, the center expanded capacity with the opening of Harborside Surgery Center 2.0 at the same National Harbor address. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, ownership structure, or financial statements, and operates with a small employee base of 11–50 staff supporting its multi-specialty case mix.
