United Surgical Partners International, Inc. · Addison, TX United States

United Surgical Partners International (USPI) brings together surgeons from across the US and the UK. The company owns or manages some 165 ambulatory surgery centers and surgical hospitals in the US and another four in the UK. It creates centers from scratch, converts outpatient departments into stand-alone jointly run locations, and purchases existing facilities; contract management services are also available. USPI intends its facilities to be better for patients, easier to work in for doctors (since administrative hassles are handled by someone else), and more efficient for the insurance companies paying the bills. Health care investment firm Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe owns USPI. To read the full description, subscribe now.
