San Diego supports a growing ASC market driven by high surgical demand in orthopedics, pain management, and ophthalmology. Scripps Health, Sharp HealthCare, and UC San Diego Health anchor a market where the region’s active lifestyle and large military population create strong procedural volume. TRICARE billing adds a layer of complexity for San Diego ASCs that most billing companies are not prepared to handle alongside commercial, Medicare, and Medi-Cal claims.

Cosentus provides full-cycle ASC billing and revenue cycle management tailored to the San Diego market. Our team manages facility and professional fee billing, handles TRICARE alongside all other payer types, and tracks case-level profitability by procedure, surgeon, and payer. Every case is managed by specialists who understand ASC operations and the unique payer dynamics of San Diego.

Why Local Knowledge Matters

We Know California Payers

San Diego ASCs work with TRICARE, commercial carriers, Medicare, Medi-Cal, and workers compensation. Each has different facility fee schedules and surgical authorization requirements. Our team knows these requirements for every major payer in San Diego, including TRICARE’s specific ASC billing rules.

We Manage Both Fee Streams

Facility and professional fees are managed under one team, one director, and one dashboard. This eliminates the coordination gaps that happen when ASCs use separate billing companies for each fee stream. Our team tracks both sides of every case from charge entry through final payment.

National Reach. Local Focus.

We manage ASC revenue cycles across the country, but your team knows San Diego. They understand the military healthcare network, the local hospital systems, and the payer dynamics that shape ASC revenue in this market.
