Jared Leger is a co-founder and managing partner of Arise Healthcare, which owns and operates several ambulatory surgery centers and other healthcare-related businesses with a focus on ASCs.
Mr. Leger's past experience includes healthcare finance, mergers and acquisitions, development and operations. He has also syndicated and operated several physician-owned surgery centers. In addition to leading Arise, Mr. Leger owns a real estate investment company based out of Austin, Texas, and is partner/governing board member of Cedar Park (Texas) Surgery Center and managing partner at Texas Compounding Center. Prior to these management roles, Mr. Leger has served in leadership positions at Stonegate Surgery Center and Austin Pain Associates.
In a recent interview with Becker's ASC Review, Mr. Leger outlined five ways to improve ASC operations in 2013, including moving in-network with regional payors.
"It's becoming more difficult to get paid at full reimbursement rates through out-of-network insurance carriers," he said. "Higher out-of-network deductibles and co-insurances, increased HMO-only insurance products being sold to employers, and reasonable and customary fee schedule payment maximums will continue to make the out-of-network model difficult."
