Scripps Mercy Surgery Pavilion

What Scripps Mercy Surgery Pavilion does

Scripps Mercy Surgery Pavilion is an outpatient ambulatory surgery center (ASC) located at 550 Washington Street, Suite 101, in San Diego, California. Founded in 2013, it operates as a joint venture between Scripps Mercy Hospital (part of the Scripps Health system) and a group of 19 community physicians who hold ownership stakes and surgical privileges at the facility. The center provides same-day, non-emergency surgical procedures across multiple specialties including general surgery, hand surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology (ENT), podiatry, urology, gynecology, ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, pain management, and cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Operating hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The facility is accredited by The Joint Commission on Accreditation for Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), is Medicare certified, and is a member of the Ambulatory Surgery Center Association (ASCA). Its technology footprint consists of modern medical equipment enabling same-day discharge across the listed specialties, without any disclosed proprietary technology, software products, or AI capabilities. Marketing and patient acquisition rely on referrals through the Scripps Health network, the 19 physician partners, and contracted insurance network listings rather than direct-to-consumer advertising.

The business model is built around three revenue streams: facility service fees charged on a per-procedure basis for outpatient surgical services; insurance reimbursement from contracted commercial payers, Medicare, and Medi-cal under usual-and-customary fee schedules with patient deductibles and co-insurance collected at time of service; and self-pay cosmetic surgery fees collected prior to surgery. Surgeon, anesthesiologist, laboratory, and radiology services are billed separately by those providers, not by the facility. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no external private equity or venture capital ownership, and no public revenue figures.

2. Insurance Reimbursement: Revenue from contracted insurance companies and government healthcare payers (Medicare, Medi-cal) based on established procedural codes with usual and customary fees. Collects deductibles and co-insurance from patients.
3. Cosmetic Surgery Self-Pay: Elective cosmetic procedures are typically not covered by insurance and are collected before surgery. Cash, cashier's checks, money orders, and major credit cards are accepted.
4. Physician Partner Revenue: The facility is a joint venture between Scripps Mercy Hospital and physician partners. Surgeon-owners have financial interest and surgical privileges, contributing to patient volume.
