AI for ASCs: Practical Tools Every Administrator
Can Start Using Today
Presenter: Mat Giladi, Founder, AmBuSun
What AI is (and what it isn't), why it matters now that staffing, costs, and reimbursement pressure are all hitting at once, and how administrators and business office managers can put free AI chat tools to work this week on real tasks:
- summarizing payer bulletins
- translating contract language
- drafting policies and board materials
- prepping for tough vendor or payer conversations
Mat will walk through the guardrails every surgery center should know, including what never to paste into a chat, how to stay HIPAA-safe, and how to catch AI when it's wrong.
Mat Giladi is the co-founder and CEO of AmbuSun. His team pairs healthcare veterans with 30+ years of combined experience across ASCs, anesthesia, and physician practices with engineers who worked on AI before ChatGPT existed, and he's a regular guest on this topic on The ASC Podcast with John Goehle.

Stop Leaving Money Behind: How AI Agents Are Transforming ASC Revenue Cycle Management
Presenter: Yagyansh Bhatia, Founder, Incerto.ai
Revenue cycle challenges continue to grow for ASCs. Rising payer complexity, denials, prior auths, and staffing pressures make it harder to capture every dollar earned.
The next evolution of AI is here: agentic AI, which gives AI the agency to take action, not just make recommendations. Today, AI agents are transforming revenue cycle workflows across denials, appeals, authorizations, underpayments, and AR.
Consider this: for MA, providers win 80.7% of appealed denials, yet only 11.5% of denials are appealed (KFF, 2024). The challenge isn't knowing what to do, it's having the bandwidth to persist. In this interactive session, you’ll see how agents:
* Reduce administrative burden
* Identify missed revenue opportunities
* Improve denial and appeal workflows
* Strengthen AR follow-up consistency
* Work within existing systems and processes
As healthcare organizations adopt AI, ASCs have an opportunity to leverage this technology to improve efficiency, protect margins, and recover revenue that may otherwise be left behind.
Yagyansh Bhatia is an AI engineer and founder of Incerto, an AI-powered revenue recovery platform built for ASCs. He brings 10+ years of experience building technology solutions and AI systems at scale.
His healthcare journey began after experiencing a denied claim following his own shoulder surgery, giving him firsthand insight into the administrative challenges providers face. Today, he leads a team focused on helping ASCs improve revenue recovery and simplify complex operational workflows through AI.
