Debunking Common Myths About ASC Lending

Myth: A “buy-in” loan is only for physicians with several years in practice.

Fact: Every loan must meet bank credit standards, but we have worked with physicians who are just out of fellowship and physicians who are many years into practice.

Myth: A “buy-in” loan is only for 1st time equity purchases.

Fact: We have worked with 1st time investors and current investors who are acquiring additional shares.

Myth: “Buy-in” loans are only for individuals purchasing shares / % directly in the ASC.

Evolve Bank & Trust offers a streamlined application process with quick decision-making, minimal paperwork, and tailored loan structures based on ASC needs.

Loan terms vary based on financing needs, but many ASC loans feature flexible repayment options ranging from short-term working capital loans to long-term expansion financing.

Rates depend on various factors, including creditworthiness, loan type, and repayment terms. Competitive rates are available specifically for healthcare professionals.

THE EVOLVE ADVANTAGE

Who Qualifies for ASC Lending?

With tailored financing solutions, expert support, and competitive rates, we make it easier for medical professionals to focus on delivering top-tier patient care in state-of-the-art ASC facilities while ensuring long-term financial success.

General Surgeons & Specialists
General surgeons and specialists own Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) to perform outpatient procedures efficiently. Physician-owned facilities enable cost-effective, high-quality surgical care with lower infection risks than hospitals. Ownership provides greater control over scheduling, equipment, and patient experience, enhancing both outcomes and profitability.
Orthopedic Surgeons
Orthopedic surgeons invest in ASCs to perform joint replacements, sports medicine procedures, and minimally invasive surgeries in a streamlined setting. These facilities reduce hospital stays, optimize recovery times, and improve patient outcomes. ASC ownership grants surgeons financial benefits, operational control, and enhanced patient care efficiency.
Ophthalmologists
Ophthalmologists use ASCs for cataract surgery, LASIK, and other vision-related procedures. These centers provide specialized technology, faster recovery times, and cost savings for both patients and providers. Ownership allows ophthalmologists to ensure high standards of care while benefiting from increased efficiency and revenue generation.
Gastroenterologists
Gastroenterologists operate ASCs for procedures like colonoscopies, endoscopies, and digestive disease treatments. ASCs offer a more comfortable, lower-cost alternative to hospitals while improving patient access to care. Ownership enables gastroenterologists to optimize workflows, enhance procedural efficiency, and maintain high clinical and operational standards.
Plastic Surgeons
Plastic surgeons own ASCs to perform cosmetic and reconstructive procedures in a controlled, private environment. These centers enhance patient safety, reduce costs, and provide a superior experience. ASC ownership allows plastic surgeons to customize facilities, streamline operations, and increase profitability while delivering high-quality surgical care.
