In this episode of the DocBuddy Journal, Erik Sunset shares a positive story straight from the field regarding one of our account managers at a recent Op Note go-live at a Florida multi-specialty surgery center.

He also covers a major ASC update: CMS added 86 new cardiovascular procedure codes for 2026, opening new growth opportunities — but not without challenges like capital costs, staffing, and state regulations.

If you lead or manage a surgery center, this episode gives you a clear look at where the ASC market is heading and what it takes to stay ahead.
