Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based U.S. Anesthesia Partners and Las Vegas-based Anesthesiology Consultants have agreed to form a partnership.
Under the agreement, Anesthesiology Consultants will be rebranded as USAP-Nevada, but will retain full governance of its clinical operations.
"As USAP-Nevada, we will gain valuable insight into the rapidly changing reimbursement environment and access to an IT infrastructure that will enhance our performance and position us for continued success. This partnership with USAP gives ACI immediate access to best practices that will enable us to increase the value we provide to patients, our surgeons and facility partners in care," said Jason Workman, MD, president of Anesthesiology Consultants. "We gain these benefits while remaining a Nevada-based practice. Our facility clients and surgeons will still work with the same, high-caliber teams that understand the needs of Nevada patients. We remain rooted in and committed to Nevada."
"By partnering with USAP, ACI will benefit from the significant investments USAP has made in infrastructure to support its practices and the high caliber business leadership team we have built. Importantly, as USAP physician partners, [ACI] will continue to participate in the future success of [its] practice and of USAP as a whole," said USAP CEO Kris Bratberg.
