Outpatient Surgery, 06/15/09

Wisconsin is planning to tax its 60 ambulatory surgery centers a total of $44 million over 2 years to help bridge the state's $1.6 billion budget shortfall. Details of the tax remain sketchy, says Eric Ostermann of the Association of Wisconsin Surgery Centers. ASCs are expected to be taxed on their gross patient revenues, but it's not clear at this point how much tax would be assessed and how it would be collected.
