Nashville, Tenn.-based ambulatory surgery center operator Amsurg has named Ron Pope vice president of the central billing office, according to a Nov. 11 post on his LinkedIn page.
Mr. Pope most recently served as CEO of medical billing company Exact Billing Solutions, according to his LinkedIn page. He previously spent three years as senior vice president of revenue cycle at Cambridge, Mass.-based Beth Israel Lahey Health.
Amsurg was acquired by St. Louis-based Ascension June 4 in a deal valued at about $3.9 billion.
“By bringing Amsurg’s extensive ambulatory surgery network together with Ascension’s national healthcare platform, the combined organization now supports approximately 300 ambulatory surgery centers nationwide and is well positioned to lead the continued migration of care into high-quality, lower-cost outpatient settings,” Mr. Pope said in his post.
Mr. Pope said he is especially grateful for the opportunity to work alongside his longtime mentor, Amsurg Chief Revenue Officer Dorothy Rubio, and her leadership team “as they seek to strengthen Amsurg’s revenue cycle operations and support Amsurg’s continued growth and success.”
