The costs of your company's medical benefit is projected to rise next year. This is not a surprise; costs have been going up every year for more than a decade. And over the years, your company has worked hard to deal with it by:

• Implementing HSAs
• Increasing co-pays
• Changing brokers
• Changing coverage networks
• Increasing employee contributions
• Reducing benefits
• Implementing wellness programs
• Increasing prices
• Reducing profits

Now Epic Surgical Center gives you another tool for cost reduction: An independent ambulatory surgical center that specializes in the most common surgeries that are driving your usage and costs. We also publish our all-inclusive prices, giving you transparency and certainty.
