Overview
AAC Corporate, now Ambulatory Anesthesia Care, provides a turnkey platform of outpatient anesthesia and administrative support for physician practices, ASCs, dental offices, and clinics in non-hospital settings. It handles not only anesthesia staffing but a full suite of services including revenue cycle management, procurement of supplies and equipment, regulatory compliance, credentialing, and consulting on surgical office layout. Its operations form a floating surgical suite: they manage preoperative screening, recovery nursing, clinical support staff, anesthesia drugs and equipment, and data analytics on outcomes and turnover. The company partners with and invests in other anesthesia groups to expand nationally. Its growth strategy includes capital from investors (e.g., VSS Capital Partners in 2021) to scale its platform. Overall goal is to enable client practices to focus on clinical care while AAC handles operational, administrative, and perioperative needs.
