Abstract：
PURPOSE:Multiple visits for the evaluation, treatment, and follow-up of straightforward surgical problems are inconvenient, can result in lost work for the parents, and missed school for the child. We hypothesized that with proper previsit screening, patients with select diagnoses can be evaluated in an outpatient clinic setting and undergo operation the same day. METHODS:Criteria were developed to identify straightforward referrals to our surgical practice for umbilical, epigastric, or inguinal hernias. Scripting was created to offer families the option of consultation and, if indicated, surgical treatment on the same day. Data collected included number of patients, cases performed, insurance status, and consultation reimbursement and surgical fees. Families were surveyed postoperatively. RESULTS:Sixty-one patient candidates participated. The diagnosis and indication for surgery were confirmed in 56 (92%), of which 50 underwent repair the day of their consultation. Seventy-two percent of patients had commercial insurance, whereas 28% had Medicaid. The preoperative consultation fee was reimbursed in 39 (78%) of 50 encounters (57% Medicaid, 86% commercial). All surgical cases were reimbursed. Patient and family satisfaction was high. CONCLUSIONS:We conclude that it is feasible to provide same-day evaluation and service for straightforward pediatric hernias with acceptable financial reimbursement and high parent satisfaction.
