What you should know:
1. Envision has suffered year-over-year volume declines around 65-75 percent at its ASCs in the last two weeks, and has closed 90 of the centers.
2. To combat the losses, Envision turned to its revolving credit facility and deferred bonus payments, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke to Bloomberg.
3. The same people said Envision may need additional financing if conditions worsen.
4. It's unclear if the Bloomberg analysts considered CMS' recent decision that hospitals can use ASCs to assist with the COVID-19 response in the analysis.
