Ancillary Care Solutions to address ancillary income allocation
Cary Edgar to address American Association of Orthopaedic Executives on allocating ancillary income among orthopaedic group members
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – April 2013 – Ancillary Care Solutions (ACS), the nationwide leader in helping healthcare organizations establish and manage physical and occupational therapy programs, announced that Cary Edgar will speak at the annual conference of the American Association of Orthopaedic Executives on allocating ancillary income from therapy, imaging and DME among orthopaedic physician group members.
Mr. Edgar will discuss the various allocation options that are Stark compliant, share how many orthopaedic groups choose to allocate ancillary income and address utilization and accounting issues associated with each allocation option.
According to Cary Edgar, “Many orthopaedic and other physician groups are not aware of the different options that they have for allocating ancillary income and the potential benefits of each option. Certain changes in income allocations can help grow ancillaries without promoting over-utilization.”

ACS professional to address Texas Orthopaedic Association and Texas Association of Orthopaedic Executives on using data to manage physical and occupational therapy
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – March 2013 – Ancillary Care Solutions (ACS), the nationwide leader in helping healthcare organizations establish and manage physical and occupational therapy programs, announced that Cary Edgar will speak at the annual conference of the Texas Orthopaedic Association and Texas Association of Orthopaedic Executives on using data to optimize both the quality and profitability of physical and occupational therapy.
Mr. Edgar will share key PT/OT specific benchmarks and address why a PT/OT provider or practice may be below benchmarks. He will also discuss how to use data, such as average procedures/visit, to determine whether therapists are treating patients for an appropriate period of time and whether they are capturing all appropriate charges. Payment trends will also be addressed, including how higher co-pays and deductibles are affecting average visits/patient and overall PT/OT profitability.
According to Cary Edgar, “PT/OT margins can shrink very rapidly and therefore proactive management of provider and support staff productivity and overall efficiency based on real-time data is an absolute necessity.”
ACS leverages its financial, operational and regulatory expertise to help healthcare organizations manage their therapy programs, ranging from the development and management of new programs to the expansion of existing programs and the reinvigoration of underperforming programs.
