Pinnacle III

Pinnacle III is a healthcare management and outsourcing company based in Lakewood, Colorado, built around one specialty: ambulatory surgery centers. The firm works with ASC owners, physicians, hospital partners, and investors at every stage of the center's life, from initial development and licensing through ongoing operations, revenue cycle management, and long-term growth planning. For stakeholders who want a single accountable partner rather than a rotating cast of vendors, Pinnacle III handles the clinical, financial, and administrative sides of the business together. The company's service portfolio covers both ends of the ASC timeline. For new centers, Pinnacle III guides clients through facility planning, staff recruitment, equipment procurement, policy and procedure development, and regulatory compliance. For existing ASCs, the team offers facility audits, targeted consulting, and full-scope management of clinical and business operations. Medical billing and revenue cycle management are core to the outsourcing offering: in 2018, the company billed over 41,897 claims and achieved more than $100 million in total collections. Payer relations and managed care contracting are handled in-house as well, covering contract negotiations, market analysis, and reimbursement compliance monitoring across multiple regional markets. Pinnacle III's clients are ambulatory surgery centers across a multi-state region, ranging from physician-owned startups to mature facilities developed in partnership with hospitals and private investors. Their aggregate client EBITDA outperformed the VMG median by 7% in 2018, which reflects the financial discipline the team applies to each engagement. The firm also publishes practical guidance on topics such as AAAHC deemed-status survey preparation, CMS medication standards, and operational efficiency, making them a resource for the broader ASC community beyond their direct client base. The leadership team brings unusual depth for a company of this type. The founding partners each have more than 25 years in outpatient healthcare, including hands-on experience developing and managing surgery centers across multiple states. The VP of Payer Relations holds credentials in risk management alongside a master's degree in healthcare systems and brings both provider-side and payer-side experience to contract negotiations, an advantage in managed care markets. The VP of Facility Development holds an active RN license and the CASC designation, the credential for ASC administration expertise. Healthcare organizations looking for a proven ASC management and medical billing outsourcing partner in the United States are welcome to contact the Pinnacle III team through their website to discuss development plans, operational assessments, or revenue cycle support.
