Why Choose Pearl Precision Surgery

About

Historically, women requiring surgical services for problems such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, heavy menstrual flow, infertility, urinary incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse, were evaluated by a general ObGyn physician. With limited training and low surgical volume, these physicians are ill equipped to handle complex cases. Lower reimbursements from commercial payers, limited hours for training, and the advent of specialized fellowships with surgical focus have created a massive shift in the delivery of high quality surgery to this population.

While new technology has led to Minimally Invasive Surgical options for patients, there has also been an increase in cost to perform less invasive surgery.

The medical device companies and big pharma have only added cost and made the problem worse.

Hospital data is difficult to collect, and it is widely known that the information used by CMS to define the cost of surgery and subsequently propose pricing in the CPT and ICD system is tremendously flawed.

Recent regulations of have not only placed new focus on quality outcomes, but there is now accountability for such outcomes, and a federal mandate to spend less money on the delivery of surgical services. The new administration is intent on increasing competition in the health care marketplace and increasing access to lower cost surgical services.

Self insured large corporations have recognized over the past several years that surgical procedures are not fungible, as the CPT system implies. The quality of surgery, the outcomes, the patient satisfaction, the time off work- these variables are not identical from one practitioner to another.

But how does one find a great surgeon?

How can a corporate employer seek out the very best surgeons who can get their employee safely directed to a high quality provider?

Self-insured companies are looking for solutions.

Third party administrators are contracting directly with facilities and providers and bundled rate reimbursements are gaining ground.

The Pearl Precision Surgery high performance surgical group originated in Portland Oregon under the leadership of Dr Richard Rosenfield. After completing one of the largest case series in the world of completely outpatient advanced pelvic surgery, Dr Rosenfield and his facility began servicing patients regionally and then nationally. After proving the safety and feasibility of moving these cases which had historically been performed entirely in hospital settings to a free standing ASC, the next step was scaling the project nationally.

As within other specialties, surgeons in the upper percentile of skills tend to get invited to teach and participate in the training of younger or more amateur surgeons. Finding others in a “like specialty” capable of delivering a similar product allowed for the launch of a high performance network for women.

Pearl Precision Surgery works with all self-insured companies of all sizes in, including large self funded employers such as Target, Alberton’s, State Farm Insurance, to well-known regional and local companies and unions.

Indemnification against complications:

In order to truly stand behind the quality of care delivered by Pearl Precision Surgeons, our leadership created a strategic partnership with BLIScare, an insurance product which warranties the surgeon and surgery against complications. In order for a surgeon to indemnify his case against complications, complication rates must be extremely low. Otherwise, the cost of the insurance would simply be too high. Our surgeons are the only GYN surgeons in the US who qualify to be underwritten in such a way, which is an objective system of ensuring the highest quality surgeon. We are very proud to offer this protection with our bundled rate cases.
