Panama City Surgery Center

What Panama City Surgery Center does

Panama City Surgery Center is a physician-owned ambulatory surgery center (ASC) located at 1800 Jenks Ave., Panama City, Florida. Founded in 1965 and operating under the SCA Health network, the facility provides same-day outpatient surgical care across approximately 13 medical specialties, including orthopedics, urology, gastroenterology, OB/GYN, pain management, ENT, podiatry, plastic surgery, spine, and general surgery. It is state-licensed in Florida, CMS-approved, and Joint Commission accredited, serving patients across North Florida and Bay County.

The center's core technology platform combines conventional outpatient surgical capabilities with the da Vinci Surgical System Si for robotic-assisted procedures and laser-assisted surgical techniques, enabling complex minimally invasive cases — including urological robotic surgery — typically performed in hospital outpatient settings. A bundled surgery pricing program consolidates facility, surgeon, and anesthesiologist fees into single transparent payments, marketed to self-insured employers, workers' compensation carriers, and self-pay patients. One Medical Passport provides online pre-registration, enabling digital patient intake prior to surgery.

The business model is fee-for-service ambulatory surgery, with revenue streams from per-procedure facility fees, bundled pricing arrangements, insurance reimbursement under contracts with major carriers, and specialty surgical service pricing. The go-to-market combines physician-directed referral (primary) — anchored by credentialed surgeons across the multi-specialty network — with direct patient pre-registration online. Customer concentration is split between individual patients (SMB/long-tail), self-insured employer and workers' compensation programs (enterprise), and contracted insurance carriers. The facility employs 101–250 staff and operates Monday through Friday, 6am to 5pm.
