Our per-case outsourcing cost covers:
• the phaco machine;
• the surgical microscope;
• multiple phaco and I/A handpieces (we
need several because we no longer flash-
sterilize);
• the surgical supplies pack (per each sur-
geon's preference), including tubing;
• the IOL;
• a technician to set up and operate the
phaco machine and microscope; and
• maintenance of the equipment so that it
functions properly.
Making ends meet
Outsourcing is a sensible option in many sce-
narios. It's a no-risk way to test the vitality of
your cataract surgery market without a large
capital outlay. If we didn't outsource, it would
be cost-prohibitive to perform our volume of
procedures. We'd have to factor all of the
equipment, supplies and staff that we out-
source into our per-case cost. But that's not
all. We'd also have to account for:
• initial capital outlay of hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars;
• capital outlay each time we upgrade to
new equipment;
• technician time in the OR for setting up
