The 5 biggest health system ASC investments of 2026. By: Francesca Mathewes Some of the country's largest health systems have spent the past two years selling hospitals and redirecting capital to ASCs. In 2026, that shift has produced a $3.9 billion megadeal alongside a steady stream of single-site builds. Here are the six largest health system ASC investments announced, closed, broken ground on or opened between January and September, ranked by disclosed dollar value. The list includes only ASC-anchored deals and projects. 1. Ascension (St. Louis): $3.9 billion Ascension completed its $3.9 billion acquisition of Nashville, Tenn.-based AmSurg June 4, expanding its network to 300 ASCs. The deal closed two days after the Federal Trade Commission cleared it on the condition that Ascension divest seven AmSurg facilities. Six of those centers went to SC Affiliates, an Optum subsidiary. "Healthcare is increasingly moving beyond the traditional hospital setting, and this acquisition positions us to lead that transformation," said Eduardo Conrado, president and CEO of Ascension. 2. Tenet Healthcare (Dallas): $125 million Tenet spent $125 million acquiring seven ASCs in the first quarter through Dallas-based United Surgical Partners International, reaching half of its $250 million annual acquisitions target for the ASC subsidiary in three months. USPI held interests in 538 ASCs and 26 surgical hospitals across 37 states as of June 30. Saum Sutaria, MD, chair and CEO of Tenet, said the company remains selective and has a robust pipeline of centers interested in joining USPI this year. "We still say no to more centers than we say yes to," Dr. Sutaria said. 3. UM Health-Sparrow (Lansing, Mich.): $60 million UM Health-Sparrow broke ground June 22 on a $60 million ASC in Lansing, a project the University of Michigan Board of Regents approved in February alongside an $83 million behavioral health hospital. The center will open in 2028 with four operating rooms and space to expand, along with a new MRI unit. The ASC will take on procedures now performed at the system's St. Lawrence campus and cases from its Lansing hospital, where operating room capacity is nearing its limit. 4. WVU Medicine United Hospital Center (Bridgeport, W.Va.): $48 million United Hospital Center, part of Morgantown, W.Va.-based WVU Medicine, broke ground in February on a $48 million, 62,000-square-foot outpatient surgery center. The facility will have eight robotic-capable operating rooms for orthopedic and spine procedures, including same-day total joint replacements, plus shelled space for future growth. It will eventually connect to the main hospital. 5. Lee Health (Fort Myers, Fla.): $42 million Lee Health began construction on a $42 million, 60,000-square-foot pediatric surgery center on the campus of Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida and HealthPark Medical Center. The center is expected to open in early 2028. 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.

Tenet Healthcare Corporation has raised $2 billion through the issuance of 6.250% senior notes due 2034. The company will use the proceeds, along with cash on hand, to redeem $1.5 billion of its 5.125% senior secured first lien notes due November 2027 and $500 million of its 6.125% senior notes due October 2028. The new notes, issued on 22 September 2026, are senior unsecured obligations paying interest semi-annually. They mature on 15 September 2034. The refinancing extends Tenet's debt maturity profile and eliminates secured debt from its capital structure. The notes include optional redemption features and a change-of-control put at 101% of principal plus accrued interest. Before September 2029, redemption is available at 100% of principal plus a make-whole premium.
A billing vendor cut 1,000-plus jobs the same week Medicaid fraud scrutiny intensified. Conifer's 1,037 layoffs and an intensifying Medicaid fraud crackdown are squeezing practice revenue cycles from both sides. Tenet Healthcare is cutting 1,037 jobs at Conifer Health Solutions, its revenue cycle management subsidiary, effective Nov. 2, 2026, the same stretch in which Medicaid fraud investigators intensified scrutiny of provider billing in multiple states. For practices, the two developments point at the same soft spot: whoever handles your billing, in-house staff or an outside vendor, is operating in a much less stable environment than it was a year ago. What the Conifer layoffs mean for practices that outsource billing. The Conifer layoffs follow CommonSpirit Health's decision to end its revenue cycle outsourcing contract with Conifer early, according to. CommonSpirit will pay Tenet $1.9 billion over 3 years and sell its 23.2 percent stake in Conifer for $540 million, unwinding a deal that was set to run through 2032. Tenet chief executive Saum Sutaria has said the company plans to use Conifer's scale to expand offshoring and AI-driven automation, with new service offerings expected to reach the market in early 2027. Conifer's client base runs toward large hospital systems, not independent practices. But the contract unwind is a signal for the broader revenue cycle vendor market. Consolidation and AI-driven staffing cuts are reshaping how billing work gets done, and practices that outsource collections or coding to a third party should expect their own vendors to be under similar pressure to cut costs and shift work offshore or to automation. That matters more than it sounds, because a vendor's coding behavior becomes the practice's data profile. Physicians Practice that federal investigators increasingly flag practices by comparing their claims against those of their peers, which means a billing company's default coding settings, and any change to them, show up in the pattern regulators see. How the Medicaid fraud crackdown reaches legitimate practices. At the same time, the Medicaid Fraud War Room led by CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz is widening its reach. The initiative stopped more than $203 million in improper Medicaid payments in its first 88 days, through 42 federal exclusion notices from HHS's Office of Inspector General and 15 state-level enforcement actions, according to a. State-level follow-through has grown more aggressive since, according to ' Sept. 11 morning briefing, with providers, including autism therapy clinics in Nebraska, Colorado and New York, reporting lost staff and revenue as heightened fraud scrutiny catches legitimate claims along with fraudulent ones. The push reaches past the war room itself. In, Oz directed every state to move quickly on revalidating the Medicaid providers it considers high risk and to submit a two-year revalidation strategy, which puts enrollment data, practice locations and ownership details up for a check against what the state has on file. The payment consequences can arrive before any charge does. In June, alongside the national health care fraud takedown, CMS. Anders Gilberg, senior vice president of government affairs at the Medical Group Management Association, said in that the administration's fraud initiatives are aimed at "much more bad actors than a typical small practice." What lands on the small practice, he said, is the cumulative effect of policy after policy, each one more cumbersome to administer as practices are asked to do more with less. What to ask your billing vendor, and what to audit in-house. For practice administrators, the two trends add up to the same instruction: treat revenue cycle operations, wherever they sit, as something to actively manage rather than assume is running fine. Practices that outsource billing or collections should ask their vendor now how stable its staffing and service levels are, not after a contract gets renegotiated. Practices billing Medicaid, especially in specialties already under scrutiny such as autism and behavioral health, should audit documentation and revalidation status before a state fraud sweep does it for them. Taya Gordon, CEO of Atlas and Perpetual Healthcare, told in August that the leaks she finds most often are unmanaged denials and claims sitting in accounts receivable. Practices inundated by regulation, technology changes and cybersecurity risk rarely get to them, she said: "It's so overwhelming that if you don't build in something intentional, you just end up reacting to everything that happens." Her one step for Monday morning: run a monthly report comparing the CPT codes the practice billed against the ones that were reimbursed, because a variance can signal down coding by a carrier. Tenet expects to bring Conifer's retooled offerings to market in early 2027, and CMS has signaled the fraud war room will keep expanding state by state, so neither pressure is likely to ease soon. 7 checks to run on your billing operation now. * Ask your billing vendor what changed. Staffing cuts, offshore transitions and new automation all change how claims get coded and worked, and the practice owns the result. * Run a monthly billed versus reimbursed report. Compare the CPT codes you billed against the codes that were paid. Any variance is a possible down code. * Work the denials and the aging. Unmanaged denials and claims parked in accounts receivable are the leaks Gordon finds most often when she audits a practice. * Confirm your Medicaid enrollment data is current. NPI, practice locations and ownership details should match what the state has on file before revalidation reaches you. * Build the outlier view regulators use. Track evaluation and management level distribution, modifier rates, high-cost codes and supplies, and denials and refunds. * Research before switching any vendor. Gordon watched a group move its medical supplies on cost alone, then pay more when the new supplier could not keep a key surgical item in stock. * Put the review on the calendar. A 90-day improvement plan with a standing monthly block beats an annual audit nobody gets to.
More than 2,200 Texas workers are losing their jobs in September due to mass layoffs across multiple industries. The largest cut comes from Conifer Health Solutions, owned by Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare Corporation, which is eliminating over 1,000 positions following its split with CommonSpirit Health. The Dallas-Fort Worth area is particularly affected. Texas ended its contract with nonprofit Texas Family Initiative, impacting 300 foster care workers, though many are expected to transition to a new provider. Two Amazon delivery contractors, Eagles Delivery and 4HX Logistics, eliminated 345 positions combined. In Houston, Truist Bank and New Tech Global Staffing cut 326 jobs. These layoffs occur as Texas struggles with a 4.8% unemployment rate, above the national average of 4.4%.
Frisco-based Conifer Health Solutions, a subsidiary of Tenet Healthcare Corp., is cutting 1,037 jobs following the expected departure of major client CommonSpirit Health. The company, which manages business operations for hospitals and health systems, disclosed the layoffs in a 2 September letter to the state of Texas. The affected employees are primarily remote workers scattered throughout the US but report organisationally to Tenet's Dallas headquarters. The company attributed the job cuts to "restructuring and technology initiatives" related to no longer providing services to CommonSpirit Health after 30 October. Chicago-based CommonSpirit is a large nonprofit Catholic healthcare system with over 2,200 care sites across the US and is a former part owner of Conifer. The layoffs are expected to be permanent.
