The Alabama Hospital Association (ALAHA) submitted a letter to a state health agency this week complaining of increasing instances of physicians performing interventional procedures in their offices instead of in acute care hospitals.  The ALAHA letter states “We strongly believe most interventional procedures should be done in a general acute care hospital setting.”  It further states “…the growing number of interventional/therapeutic procedures being done in a physician’s office setting where the providers are requesting letters of non-reviewability is alarming.”
