ProHub Comment

This case tests the candidate's ability to structure a revenue growth problem using a business model framework (revenue = volume × price), conduct comparative analysis across markets, and synthesize multiple growth levers when a single opportunity is insufficient. The case progresses logically from expansion analysis to same-site optimization, requiring candidates to recognize that Indianapolis expansion alone ($49.8M) falls short of the $60M target and independently pivot to identifying additional revenue sources.

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, an 8-location ASC operator with flat revenues at $400M annually, seeks to grow revenues by 15% ($60M). Candidates must evaluate expansion into three new markets, determine that Indianapolis is the best option generating $49.8M, then identify that same-site revenue enhancements (adding urology services for $12M) are necessary to reach the target, for a combined recommendation of $61.8M in new revenue.

Key Insights:

  1. Revenue model fundamentals: Revenue = Number of Procedures × Reimbursement Rate per Procedure, which further expands to (# Doctors × Patients per Doctor × Reimbursement Rate)
  2. Market selection requires multi-dimensional analysis: physician capacity by specialty, volume potential, and total economic value, not just gross doctor count
  3. Single levers are often insufficient in growth cases; candidates must recognize gaps and independently return to frameworks to identify complementary growth opportunities
  4. In healthcare revenue cases, volume levers (patients, procedures, doctors) are the primary drivers when pricing increases are constrained
  5. Same-site optimization (adding new service lines like urology) can generate material incremental revenue with potentially lower barriers than geographic expansion
