1. Who is responsible for negotiating payer contracts for the ASC?
2. Will the hospital be supportive of the ASC in contract negotiations?
3. Are there any legal restrictions on the hospital’s ability to represent the ASC in negotiations based upon ownership structure?
4. Will the ASC contracts be negotiated separately from the hospital contracts?
