Mike Ferguson, President of Horizon Solutions, joins us to conclude our three-part series on Evaluating Ownership Options for ASCs. As an expert in working with ASCs and OBLs, Mike sheds light on one of the more complex ownership models—when physician owners, a third-party management group, and hospital partners are all involved. In this episode, Mike shares practical strategies for navigating the challenges of balancing different priorities, fostering collaboration, and keeping all stakeholders aligned to ensure the success of the ASC.

In our news recap, we’ll cover ASCA’s comments for CMS on the 2025 proposed payment rule, California’s new Data Exchange Framework, where providers and payers are increasing their IT spending, and, of course, end the news segment with a positive story about Aaron James, a man from Arkansas who received a whole eye transplant.
