New Office-Based Cath Labs

New Office-Based Cath Labs

The benefits of independence are greater for physicians that incorporate an office-based cath lab (OBL) into their private practice. You optimize your site of service for all stakeholders:

  • Physicians are more efficient, work fewer hours and achieve greater income.
  • Patients come to the most convenient setting, have higher satisfaction and pay less out of pocket.
  • Payers obtain the highest quality services at the lowest cost.


But you don’t want to launch an OBL on your own. You need a partner with specialized expertise to be successful.

Unfortunately, while management companies can provide a turnkey solution for development and operation, they require an equity stake in the venture. These management companies often lock physicians into permanent contracts for management and billing services.

The result:

Physicians end up handing over most of the profits from the office-based cath lab to a management company. They are also restricted by a non-compete agreement if they ever want to exit the arrangement.

Because you maintain control of your facility, you aren’t ensnared in permanent contracts for management and billing that take a percentage of your profits in perpetuity with little accountability for performance. You have complete authority to:

  • Make patient care decisions.
  • Remove the red tape and bureaucracy.
  • Control hiring and equipment selection and choose your suppliers without sharing the profits from all your hard work.
