On October 30, Representative Jim Baird (R-IN) visited West Indy Surgery Center in Avon (founded by Urology of Indiana physicians) for a facility tour. During the tour, facility staff highlighted how Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) can deliver outcomes comparable to or better than those in hospital settings, often with the same surgeons performing the procedures. Facility staff also discussed key federal legislative priorities, including the Medicare Beneficiary Co-Pay Fairness Act and the Outpatient Surgery Access Act of 2026, and emphasized how these important bills would improve patient access to ASCs.
