ProHub Comment

This case tests structured problem-solving around revenue growth through two levers: geographic expansion and product mix enhancement. The candidate must perform quantitative analysis comparing expansion opportunities and then recognize that a single new facility is insufficient, requiring them to independently identify supplementary revenue opportunities at existing locations.

Our client, GGC Health, operates eight Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASC) on the east coast. GGC Health has consistently been a profitable organization, but over the past two years, their ASCs’ cumulative revenues have been flat at $400 million/year. The CEO of GGC Health is concerned about this and has hired your firm to increase revenues by 15%.

Clarifying Information

  1. ASCs are modern health care facilities focused on providing same-day surgical care, including diagnostic and preventive procedures.
  2. ASCs are seen as a more convenient alternative to hospital-based outpatient procedures.
  3. Physicians can perform surgeries at hospitals or ASCs.
  4. Physicians generally dictate where the surgery is performed.
  5. Timeline: ASAP
  6. Candidate should recognize that target revenue is $60M (15% * 400M)
  7. Business Model: ASC revenue is equal to the number of procedures performed in the facility by the expected reimbursement per procedure.

GGC Health needs to increase revenues by $60M (15% of current $400M). The case guides candidates through analyzing three potential new ASC locations, calculating revenue impact, determining Indianapolis is optimal but insufficient alone, then brainstorming ways to boost revenue at current eight facilities through new service lines like urology.

Key Insights:

  1. Revenue model is driven by procedures × reimbursement rates, not pricing increases
  2. Multi-factor analysis required: specialty mix, patient volume per doctor, reimbursement rates by specialty
  3. Single solution insufficient; must combine multiple revenue levers to meet target
  4. Physicians control where surgeries occur, making ASC attractiveness and capacity critical
  5. High-reimbursement specialties (neurology at $25K/patient) drive disproportionate revenue impact
