Patient Satisfaction: 100 consecutive patients were polled postoperative<\/strong>ly<\/p>\n\n\n\n


91% found it was less painful or comparable to procedures performed under local anesthesia at the dentist\u2019s office.
86% would prefer to be awake for further hand surgery.
90% would recommend wide awake surgery to a friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Study<\/strong>: Teo I, Lam W, Muthayya P, Steele K, Alexander S, Miller G. Patients\u2019 perspective on wide-awake hand surgery-100 consecutive cases. J Hand Surg Eur Vol. 2013 38(9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusions<\/strong> A clinic-based WALANT hand surgery program at a military medical center results in considerable cost savings for the MHS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are at least 97 hand-and-wrist orthopedic procedures<\/a> that do not have a Site-of-Service Differential (SOSD)<\/a>. In other words, the reimbursement for the surgeon will be the same in the office as in the ASC and you will not be paid for your Office-Based Surgical Suite(OBSS) overhead. Also known as NON-FAC PE, this includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Clinical Staff Time
2 The Equipment
3 Supplies Typically Used During A Procedure
4 Administrative Staff
5 Building Space
6 Office Supplies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1-3 are direct costs; 4-6 are indirect costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This website provides free information on how to negotiate a carve-out with your private insurance carriers <\/a>for the office overhead (about $1,000) per procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The patient benefits and the insurance company benefits from lower, overall reimbursement costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a win\/win for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
