What NORTH MERIDIAN SURGERY CENTER, LLC does

North Meridian Surgery Center, LLC (NMSC) is a freestanding, physician-owned ambulatory surgery center headquartered in Carmel, Indiana, with a second location in Kokomo. Founded in 1994, the center is licensed by the state of Indiana and accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). NMSC specializes exclusively in outpatient spine surgery and interventional pain management, performing an average of 3,500 procedures per year.

The service catalog spans surgical procedures — anterior cervical discectomy and fusion/arthroplasty (ACDF/ACDA), lumbar laminectomy, microdiscectomy, artificial cervical disc replacement, posterior cervical laminectomy, sacroiliac joint fusion, kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty, and the Intracept basivertebral nerve procedure — alongside interventional pain techniques including epidural steroid injections, selective nerve injections, facet joint blocks and rhizotomy, discography, sacroiliac joint injections, hip and shoulder injections, and spinal cord stimulator trials. Procedures rely on minimally invasive techniques and fluoroscopy- or X-ray-guided needle placement. Clinical staff includes 37+ physicians (spine surgeons and anesthesiologists) drawn from top fellowship programs, with Robert Hastings, M.D. serving as Medical Director for anesthesia.

NMSC operates on a fee-for-service revenue model, billing payors and patients for surgical and pain management procedures, with patient billing supported by an online SimpleePay payment portal. Patient acquisition runs through physician referrals — primarily from the closely affiliated Indiana Spine Group, with which NMSC shares leadership and a unified Notice of Privacy Practices — supplemented by word-of-mouth and the firm's website. The firm has not raised outside funding, has no disclosed M&A activity, and operates with a small W-2 headcount of approximately 10 employees, consistent with an ASC model in which physicians operate as credentialed practitioners rather than employees.
