You are quite close. There are a few schools of thought. While the reimbursement for some R2D2 facilities can be lower...you can stack PX and have a very full day.
Then, there are some (Ortho) for instance...why use R2D2 (diVinci or what ever) - when you can go in and have a "longer" PT base with your in practice PT Center....
In the case of AUI, there is nothing that is not above board. While a number of the MD's do have "their own" surgery center, a very small percentage of the providers make use of the center(s) due to geography and scheduling.
