Welcome To OOSS
NOW AVAILABLE - RETINA in the ASC
The collaborative efforts of OOSS and Alcon® Retina are pleased to provide you four video interviews on Retina in the ASC. These interviews were conducted during the 2011 American Academy of Ophthalmology in Orlando, Florida. In this series, Michael Romansky, JD, (OOSS Washington Counsel & VP Corporate Development) updates you on the latest changes in both the legislative and regulatory arenas, Pravin Dugel, MD, (Retinal Consultants of AZ, Sun City, AZ) provides his perspective on New Parameters for Surgical Efficiency, Mary Cantu (Manager – US Reimbursement, Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX) has a US Reimbursement Update and Mr. Steve Sheppard (Managing Principal – Medical Consulting Group, Springfield, MO) discusses the Financial Implications of an ASC. We believe these short videos will yield a better understanding of Retina surgery in an Ambulatory Surgery Center.
