Appointment is scheduled Scheduled by surgeon's office and posted in ASC schedule. [Free-Standing ASC] Scheduled by surgeon's office and posted in ASC schedule. Yes. (But unsure whether by surgeon or ASC).
Unsure who schedules appointment, but it is not ASC nurses, as one said "The schedulers don't always understand patient specifics so they might schedule someone at bad time for their type of procedure." The ASC doesn't have as much control over it.
