Visionary ASC and Value-Based Care: A Smarter Approach to Surgery

Value-Based Care means that reimbursement is tied to patient outcomes rather than the volume of procedures performed. This shift incentivizes better care, improved recovery, and reduced complications, ensuring that both patients and physicians benefit from a smarter, more sustainable healthcare system.
For patients, this means access to top-tier, fellowship-trained GYN specialists through NGynS who focus on delivering the safest, most effective treatments—not unnecessary procedures or extended hospital stays. It also means lower costs without sacrificing quality, as ASCs provide the same or better care than hospitals at a fraction of the price.
For physicians, the Visionary ASC model aligns with true clinical excellence, allowing surgeons to focus on outcomes-driven care in a physician-owned, patient-centered environment. By eliminating hospital bureaucracy and private equity control, our model restores autonomy to surgeons, ensuring that financial incentives are aligned with what’s best for patients—not just what’s most profitable for institutions.
Through our Value-Based Care approach, Visionary ASC delivers the highest-quality gynecologic surgical care at the lowest possible cost—redefining the future of women’s health.
Visionary ASC Leadership: Experts in GYN Surgical Innovation
The Visionary ASC leadership team brings together fellowship-trained GYN specialists, experienced healthcare professionals in practice management, and strategic experts in ambulatory surgical center management. With a deep understanding of both surgical excellence and healthcare operations, our team is dedicated to advancing gynecologic care through physician-led innovation and value-based strategies.
By prioritizing patient-centered outcomes, physician autonomy, and financial sustainability, our leaders have developed a scalable, cost-effective ASC model that ensures the highest quality care at the lowest possible cost.
