SURGICAL SPECIALISTS ASC, LLC

What SURGICAL SPECIALISTS ASC, LLC does

Surgical Specialists ASC, LLC is a single-site ambulatory surgery center (ASC) located at 1034 Mar Walt Drive in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, established in 2008 as a joint venture between HCA Fort Walton-Destin Hospital and local physician partners. The facility provides outpatient surgical services across four specialties — orthopedics, pain management, podiatry, and ophthalmology — and is staffed by approximately 21 employees. It serves patients from the Fort Walton Beach metropolitan area and surrounding Florida panhandle communities including Niceville, Destin, Navarre, and Crestview, operating Monday through Friday with standard ASC hours.

The center's core technology asset is the Stryker MAKO robotic surgical system, which is used to perform robotic-assisted total joint replacement procedures in orthopedics, providing a precision-differentiated offering within the regional market. The technology is licensed from Stryker rather than developed in-house. The facility is connected to a defined network of referring physician practices: Ortho Associates (with nine named orthopedic surgeons performing procedures at the site), Bay Foot and Ankle for podiatry, GCP Medical Group for pain management, and Emerald Eye for ophthalmology. HCA Fort Walton-Destin Hospital serves both as a co-owner and as a secondary referral source for patients who choose the physician-owned facility as an alternative to the hospital setting.

Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service basis through facility fees, equipment usage charges, and related clinical services billable to patients and payers for surgical procedures performed on-site. The center is a licensed healthcare provider under Florida law and is subject to physician-ownership disclosure requirements governing its co-ownership relationship with HCA Fort Walton-Destin Hospital. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; in compliance with the federal No Surprises Act, the facility provides Good Faith Estimates to patients upon request or when scheduling services. Patient acquisition is driven primarily by physician referrals and word-of-mouth within the local service area, with no disclosed direct-to-consumer marketing or digital channels.

• Surgical Care Affiliates (Optum): Optum-owned ASC platform and one of the largest U.S. operators. Broader portfolio with deeper capital and national contracting, but the underlying business model (multi-specialty ASCs with hospital/physician JV) is directly analogous.
• Tenet Healthcare: Owns USPI, the largest U.S. ASC operator. Comparable as a diversified healthcare operator with significant ambulatory surgery exposure that competes for outpatient case migration from hospital settings.
