Our Process

Your investment

We offer custom payment options customized to your facility.

Monthly Service Fee

After performing our initial analyses to identify your potential savings opportunities and operational requirements, we’ll provide a custom quote for your facility. Any savings we secure on your behalf will go directly to your bottom line. 

Wrap-around Service Fee

Like our monthly option, we’ll perform our initial analyses to identify potential savings opportunities and operational requirements. However, there is no monthly fee. Instead, our service fee will be deducted from the margins we create while optimizing your implant reimbursements. 

*Not all ASCs will be candidates for this option.

THE ADVANTIEN ADVANTAGE

On average, we drive an additional $100-200K of profit per $1M in implant spend.

How do we do it?

With nearly a decade of experience and data from analyzing thousands of implants spends, we’re experts at optimizing your facility’s savings and profit opportunities. We use our proprietary benchmarking process to analyze your implant usage and spending, case mix, payor mix and expected reimbursements, then optimize to improve your profits.
