Ambulatory Surgery Center

Our surgeons perform procedures in the following specialties that are deemed appropriate for an outpatient setting:

• Ear, Nose and Throat

• General Surgery

• Gynecology

• Interventional Pain

• Orthopedics

• Podiatry

• Urogynecology

• Urology

Before surgery:

• You will complete a preoperative interview through an online questionnaire and/or a phone call by an ASC registered nurse.

• Written preoperative instructions are provided to you via email, mail or at the completion of the online questionnaire.

• Our scheduling team will call you prior to surgery to confirm arrival time and to answer any questions.

• You will receive a written cost estimate for your surgery from our billing team.

• You won't be able to drive yourself home after surgery, so please be sure to make arrangements to get home safely after your discharge.

On the day of surgery:

• Upon arrival to the InterMed ASC surgery waiting area, our staff will review your registration data and ask for a photo ID and current insurance card.

• You will meet your care team including the anesthesiologist who will be providing your anesthesia care. 

• Your support person may accompany you during the preoperative phase of your encounter and will rejoin you in the postoperative area once you are awake after surgery.

During surgery:

• You will be taken to the operating room and helped onto the operating room table, where your surgery will be performed.

• The operating room team - including your surgeon, anesthesia provider, circulating nurse, surgical technologist and sometimes a first assistant - will monitor you throughout the procedure.

After surgery:

• You will be discharged from the ASC once you are awake and alert and your surgeon and anesthesiologist deem it safe for you to complete your recovery at home. 

• The registered nurse will review written instructions with you, including who to contact with questions following your surgery.

• A registered nurse will follow up with you via phone the next business day following your surgery.

The Ambulatory Surgery Center uses a separate billing system. If you had a procedure at the ASC, you'll need to use the dedicated ASC portal to view your account and make payments.
