Co-management is an increasingly popular model for partnerships between hospitals and physician-owned ambulatory surgery centers (ASC). Under co-management, hospitals maintain full ownership of the ASC and management services are contracted to the physician group. Hospitals should negotiate a two-level payment model for co-management compensation fees in order to mitigate risk and ensure quality.
The base fee is a fixed annual fee that reflects fair market value (FMV) for management responsibilities necessary to operate the ASC, while the incentive fee is a variable fee that reflects FMV for performance on quality and efficiency goals.
With little control over supervision and delivery of services, hospitals take a significant risk by investing in ASCs and handing over management to physicians. Incentive fees help shift some of that risk from the hospital to the physician group by making a portion of the total compensation contingent on how well physicians perform their clinical and management services.
