The report, which polled 1,075 patients and 204 healthcare providers on patient and provider behaviors concerning no-shows and cancellations, found that the total monthly loss comes out to an average loss of $375 per patient. 

The report also found that patients identified same-day or next-day appointment availability as the best way to avoid cancellations and no-shows.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
