Ambulatory Surgery Center Performance Survey

Please note: When purchasing MGMA annual surveys, please pay attention to the publication dates. MGMA normally collects data from one year, names the survey for the following year, and publishes the data midway through, or at the end of the third year. Therefore, for example, a 2005 survey, based on 2004 data, but published in late 2005 will be useable throughout 2006, a 2006 survey published in late 2006 will be useable through 2007, and so on. The following surveys are the most current surveys available at this time.
