Anesthesiology at the Intersection of Operations and Revenue Cycle

Discover how aligning anesthesia operations with Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) can reduce subsidy pressure, protect procedural access, and strengthen financial performance across your enterprise.

Why This White Paper Matters to Your Bottom Line

Rising anesthesia subsidies are often treated as a staffing problem or a reimbursement problem. For most hospitals and health systems, the real opportunity lies at the intersection of the two: how effectively staffed anesthesia capacity converts into procedural volume, documented care, and collected revenue.

Written by Jason Klopotowski, MD, Physician Managing Director at Surgical Directions, and Jason Greenberg, MD, Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer at Ventra Health, this white paper gives financial and operational leaders a shared framework for diagnosing where value is being lost and how to recover it.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • The $4 Million Opportunity: See how unused anesthesia capacity from underutilized operating rooms can translate into millions in avoidable annual subsidy, and what adjusted OR utilization targets of approximately 75% can mean for your organization.
  • Why Siloed Fixes Fall Short: Understand why treating staffing and reimbursement as separate problems leaves significant revenue on the table, and why switching vendors or billing partners alone rarely solves the underlying economics.
  • Proof From the Field: Review real performance data, including a 35-day average Days in AR, a denial rate below 5%, and 98% coding accuracy, drawn from Ventra Health’s work with more than 900 anesthesiology facilities nationwide.
  • A Shared Executive Dashboard: Explore ten paired operating and financial metrics, from adjusted utilization and cost per anesthetizing location to Net Cash Collection and Insurance Net Collection Rate, that connect capacity to realized revenue.
  • A Practical Action Framework: Follow a five-step path, from establishing one operational baseline to building accountable governance, for moving your organization from siloed management to integrated performance.
  • Expert Perspective: Gain insights directly from physician leaders who work daily at the intersection of anesthesiology operations and revenue cycle outcomes.
