Why We're Better
At Slocum Surgery Center, your health, safety, and comfort are our priorities. We understand that surgery can bring up a lot of questions and concerns – it’s a major commitment that can affect your lifestyle for weeks or even months. We know that planning for surgery can be overwhelming, but you can make it easier on yourself and on your family by being prepared and knowing what to expect before, during, and after your surgery. Our goal is to give you as much information as possible so you can be ready and calm for your surgery.
Specialized Care
At the Slocum Surgery Center, we specialize in providing personalized care for each of our patients. As an orthopedic surgery center with surgical services provided exclusively by the surgeons at Slocum Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, Slocum Surgery Center is focused entirely on the preparation, process, and outcome of your orthopedic surgery. Our team of specialists have worked together for several years in both the hospital and ambulatory surgery center settings, resulting in high patient satisfaction rates.
Convenience
At Slocum Surgery Center, we complete patients’ insurance benefits, PAT visits, and anesthesia consults prior to the day of surgery. In our facility, patients have a seamless, efficient, and convenient pre-surgery, surgery, and discharge experience.
Affordability
A recent report states that ambulatory surgery centers like Slocum Surgery Center perform with lower overhead costs than hospitals. This leads to lower rates of reimbursement from Medicare and commercial insurance plans, which reduces medical care expenses for governments and out-of-pocket expenses for patients. The efficient business model we use has the potential to save the state of Oregon millions of dollars as it embraces Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) to deliver care to Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid) patients. The Slocum Surgery Center is Medicare-certified and participates in most insurance plans.
Low Infection Rates
Between 5-10% of all patients contract at least one hospital-acquired infection during their stay in an acute care hospital, but because only surgery is performed at our Surgery Center mainly on well patients, incidences of healthcare acquired infections are rare.
Billing and Financial
At Slocum Surgery Center, we are dedicated to making all parts of your surgery process simple and efficient, and that includes the billing and financial aspects. Prior to your surgery, our business office will contact your insurance company to verify your benefits and calculate your out-of-pocket expense. A member of our business office will follow up with you to discuss payment arrangements. For your convenience, we accept both VISA and MasterCard as payment methods.
