Surgery Center of Oklahoma

What Surgery Center of Oklahoma does

Surgery Center of Oklahoma is a physician-owned, accredited multispecialty outpatient surgical facility located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, founded in 1997. The 32,535 square-foot facility performs procedures across more than 25 specialty categories including orthopedics, ENT, general surgery, urology, gynecology, ophthalmology, podiatry, neurosurgery, and oral-maxillofacial surgery, drawing on a credentialed network of over 70 specialists from every major Oklahoma City healthcare system. The facility documents a 0.00% infection rate in 2021 against a 2.6% national average, with thousands of patients treated annually.

The company's defining commercial mechanism is its all-inclusive transparent pricing model, first published online in 2009. Bundled procedure prices combine facility fee, surgeon fee, anesthesiologist fee, and uncomplicated follow-up care into a single upfront quote, ranging from approximately $1,265 for minor procedures (e.g., myringotomy) to roughly $86,996 for complex cases (e.g., lumbar fusion 2-level). Hardware and implants are passed through at invoice cost, and an optional overnight stay is available case-by-case. A non-refundable $250 initial consultation fee is collected separately. Quotes are valid for 60 days, full prepayment is required, and prices remained essentially unchanged for approximately 25 years before the facility's first inflation adjustment.

Surgery Center of Oklahoma operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model, targeting uninsured patients, high-deductible plan holders, self-insured individuals, and self-insured employers who can arrange alternative payment arrangements. The facility does not participate in insurance networks and instead drives demand through public pricing visibility, Dr. Keith Smith's media advocacy and Senate testimony, social media channels, and membership in the Free Market Medical Association. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held by its operating physicians with no external institutional capital.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• United Surgical Partners International (USPI): USPI, majority-owned by Tenet Healthcare and partnered with HCA, is the largest ambulatory surgery network in the U.S. It provides the most direct comparison to SCO's multispecialty outpatient surgery model and shares the same physician-recruitment and bundled-pricing themes.
• Tenet Healthcare: Tenet Healthcare owns USPI and a portfolio of acute care hospitals, many with outpatient surgery programs. Tenet is comparable to SCO as a multi-specialty surgery provider but at much larger scale and with national insurance contracts.
• AMSURG: AMSURG (formerly part of Envision Healthcare) operates a large network of ambulatory surgery centers across multiple specialties. It is directly comparable to SCO's multispecialty outpatient surgical model and physician-partnership economics.
• HCA Healthcare: HCA Healthcare operates one of the largest U.S. hospital and outpatient networks and aggressively expands ambulatory surgery capacity through joint ventures. It competes with SCO for both physicians and self-pay/commercially insured surgical patients in Oklahoma and nationally.
• Surgery Partners: Surgery Partners is one of the largest U.S. operators of short-stay surgical facilities, owning and operating a national portfolio of ambulatory surgery centers. It is comparable to SCO as a multi-specialty ASC operator with similar procedure mix (orthopedics, GI, ophthalmology) but at vastly greater scale.

Direct peers

• Atlas Healthcare Partners: Atlas Healthcare Partners develops and manages ASCs through joint ventures with health systems, with a focus on orthopedic and multi-specialty outpatient surgery. It is comparable to SCO as a multi-specialty ASC operator using a physician-aligned partnership model.
• ASD Management: ASD Management develops and manages single- and multi-specialty ambulatory surgery centers, with an emphasis on physician ownership and operational efficiency. It mirrors SCO's physician-owned, multi-specialty outpatient positioning.
• Regent Surgical Health: Regent Surgical Health is a physician-focused ASC development and management company operating multi-specialty surgery centers nationwide. It is directly comparable to SCO's physician-partnered ambulatory surgery operating model.
• Pinnacle Surgical Partners: Pinnacle Surgical Partners is a physician-led ASC operator focused on orthopedic and multi-specialty outpatient surgery, with transparent bundled pricing elements. It is a comparable peer to SCO's physician-owned, transparent-pricing outpatient surgery model.

Regional players

• Oklahoma Surgical Hospital / Oklahoma Center for Orthopaedic & Multi-Specialty Surgery (OMSC): OU Health and other Oklahoma-based multi-specialty and orthopedic surgical facilities compete with SCO for physicians and patients in the Oklahoma City metro. They are region-specific peers with similar multispecialty outpatient offerings but different pricing and ownership structures.
