Where nimble Takes the Stage

DRIVING ASC PROFITABILITY: BUILDING INTERNAL LEVERAGE THROUGH PAYER STRATEGY

As payer pressure intensifies, ASC profitability increasingly comes down to one thing: disciplined payer strategy inside your own walls. Centers that build strong systems around contracts, performance data, and value communication are creating leverage — even in a difficult reimbursement environment.

In this session, Scott Allen, SVP of Managed Care Contracting at nimble solutions, shares practical lessons from working with ASCs nationwide. Drawing on first-hand insights and real-world examples, he outlines the operational habits that strengthen payer strategy — from organizing contract infrastructure to sharpening value messaging and tracking outcomes that matter.

Attendees will walk away with clear, actionable strategies to tighten internal operations, improve negotiating position, and align payer strategy with sustainable growth.

Speaker:

Scott Allen, Sr. Vice President of Managed Care Contracting at nimble solutions

The conversation focuses on real-world decisions—where alignment breaks down, what’s working, and how teams are prioritizing efforts to protect cash flow.

PAYER COLLECTIONS UNLOCKED: THREE KEYS TO BOOST AR FOR ASCs

In this candid executive panel, leaders from independent physician-owned, ASCs face unique revenue cycle challenges, from implant-heavy procedures to payer-specific contract rules and front-end requirements that can quickly lead to denials and revenue leakage. With leaner margins than hospitals, effective accounts receivable (AR) management isn’t optional—it’s essential to your facility’s financial health. In this session, nimble’s RCM experts will share three proven strategies to help your ASC capture the revenue it has earned: mastering the payer contract landscape, strengthening front-end and pre-authorization processes, and ensuring compliance with payer policies. You’ll leave with practical steps to protect cash flow and maximize cash per case.
