| Description |
The site-neutrality among medical payments for the same procedures would essentially achieve the long-lost cause of site-specificity among the medical procedures, so that the clinically safe and healthcare cost aware proceduralists can contribute to reduction of overall healthcare costs of the society by better triaging their procedures among the appropriate sites (office/ambulatory surgery center/hospital). This utopic future of healthcare cost-efficiency can be realized by site-neutrality ensuring the costs of providing healthcare meeting in the middle ground with the charges billed by the healthcare on the society. The potentially overlooked initiative of "(Patient) Safety-in-Healthcare yet (Cost) Savings-in-Healthcare" may be revived for the society whence cost-effective safety of the patients/procedures would become the sole-incentive to allocate particular patients/procedures to an office or an ambulatory surgery center or a hospital.
