What Tri County Surgery Center does

Tri-City Surgery Center is a physician-owned, Medicare-accredited multi-specialty ambulatory surgical center (ASC) operating from a single facility at 5430 Distinction Way in Prescott, Arizona. Founded in 2004, the center operates 3 fully equipped operating rooms and 1 procedure room and delivers same-day outpatient surgical procedures across five core specialties: gastroenterology, general surgery, hand surgery, orthopedic surgery, and podiatry, with pain management and additional services referenced in coverage. The facility serves patients referred by affiliated medical practices, with the most significant channel partner being Northern Arizona Orthopaedics, alongside multiple podiatry practices, a gastroenterology practice, and an oral and facial surgery center. The center is the only facility in the Tri-City area offering two fellowship-trained, board-certified hand specialists, and reports high patient satisfaction ratings with most patients discharged within one hour after surgery.

The center's underlying technology consists of conventional advanced operating-room instrumentation and patient monitoring during recovery, rather than proprietary software or AI systems. No public API, SDK, or digital platform is offered; the only digital tooling is a secure online payment portal powered by Patient Notebook. The website is a static informational resource covering procedure descriptions, pre-operative and post-operative instructions, financial information, and patient rights, with no evidence of digital marketing, social media, or paid advertising channels.

The business model is a per-procedure facility-fee model, with the center billing for use of the surgical center, staff, and equipment. Patients are billed separately for surgeon, anesthesiologist, and ancillary provider fees. Anesthesia is provided by Arizona Anesthesia Solutions under an independent contractor arrangement. The center accepts most major insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid, AHCCCS, and commercial carriers, and offers self-pay pricing for uninsured patients. Patient acquisition is driven by physician referrals rather than direct-to-consumer marketing, and all capital, technology, and overhead are concentrated in one location serving the Tri-City area of Arizona.

Regional players

• Banner Health: Banner Health is one of the largest non-profit health systems in Arizona, operating hospitals and outpatient surgery facilities across the Phoenix and northern Arizona corridor (including near Prescott). Closest large regional health system with overlapping ASC/surgical services in Tri-City's service area.
• HonorHealth: HonorHealth is a major Arizona-based health system with hospitals and outpatient surgery centers across the Phoenix metropolitan area and surrounding regions. Regional overlap with Tri-City's Arizona service area, with similar multispecialty outpatient surgical capability at larger scale.
• Dignity Health (CommonSpirit Health, Arizona): Dignity Health operates multiple hospitals and outpatient surgery centers across Arizona (Yavapai County and Prescott area included). Regional peer competing for the same patient referral pool in the Tri-City market.

Broad incumbents

• AmSurg (Envision Healthcare): AmSurg is one of the largest U.S. operators of ambulatory surgery centers, with a multi-specialty ASC portfolio that mirrors Tri-City's service breadth (GI, orthopedics, ophthalmology). Now part of Envision; broader incumbent relative to Tri-City's single-site model.
• HCA Healthcare (ASC division): HCA operates a broad hospital network and a growing portfolio of freestanding ASCs in many U.S. markets. As a broad incumbent health system with overlapping ASC strategy, HCA is comparable to Tri-City in service category but vastly larger and system-owned rather than physician-owned.

Direct peers

• Surgery Partners: Surgery Partners (NASDAQ: SGRY) owns and operates a network of ambulatory surgical facilities, primarily in joint-venture partnerships with physicians and hospitals. Same multi-specialty ASC business model and physician-partner structure as Tri-City, materially larger platform.
• Regent Surgical Health: Regent Surgical Health develops and manages physician-owned ambulatory surgery centers, including multi-specialty sites. Operates on a similar physician-partner ASC model to Tri-City and is a plausible acquirer/aggregator of facilities like Tri-City.
• United Surgical Partners International (USPI): USPI, majority-owned by Tenet Healthcare, is the largest ambulatory surgery provider in the U.S., operating short-stay surgical facilities including multi-specialty ASCs in partnership with physicians and health systems. Closest scale-comparable peer to Tri-City's multi-specialty ASC model.
• Ambulatory Surgical Centers of America (ASCOA): ASCOA develops, owns, and operates multi-specialty ambulatory surgery centers in partnership with physicians. Directly comparable to Tri-City as a multi-specialty ASC developer/operator with a physician-partnership model, though ASCOA is a platform consolidator while Tri-City is a single asset.
• Surgical Care Affiliates (SCA Health): SCA Health, owned by Optum, is one of the largest operators of multi-specialty ASCs in the U.S., working in joint-venture partnerships with physicians and health systems. Highly comparable operating model (multi-specialty ASC, physician-aligned) but at vastly greater scale than Tri-City.
