Nationwide, 29 percent of surgeries are performed by the top two physicians — those with the highest case share — at a given ASC, according to VMG Health's "Multi-Specialty ASC Benchmarking Study" for 2022.
ASCs in the Northeast and Pacific regions lean on their top surgeons more than other regions, though ASCs in the South and the Pacific have the same case volume rate for the top five surgeons.
