Allina partners with Optum on
surgery centers
The agreement could add a dozen new surgery centers, which have emerged as lower-
cost alternatives to hospitals for certain procedures.
By Christopher Snowbeck, Star Tribune JANUARY 10, 2020 — 12:52PM
Allina Health will built two free-standing surgery centers in a partnership with Optum.
Allina Health System has created a partnership with Optum, the health services division of Minnetonka-
based UnitedHealth Group, that could develop up to a dozen new ambulatory surgery centers over the next
five years.
Minneapolis-based Allina did not release financial terms of the development agreement, which was
finalized in December.

Plans call for Optum to begin managing in February Allina's surgery center at the West Health medical
campus in Plymouth. Optum is one of the nation's largest operators of surgery centers, a business that grew
significantly with the acquisition three years ago of a company called Surgical Care Affiliates.
"This partnership with SCA — Surgical Care Affiliates — represents for us an opportunity to bring care
closer to our community," said Lisa Shannon, the chief operating officer of Allina, in an interview.
"We have earmarked 8 to 12 of these centers over a time horizon that still needs to be defined," Shannon
said. "Our goal is that the community begins to see this service becoming increasingly available in the next
two years. Our plans look over three to five years."
Allina Health System operates 11 hospitals including Abbott Northwestern in Minneapolis and United
Hospital in St. Paul. It's one of the state's largest nonprofit groups, with more than 90 clinics and about
29,000 employees.

UnitedHealth Group is one of the nation's largest health care companies, including the UnitedHealthcare,
which is the nation's largest insurer. The company's Optum division has been making a push in recent
years to get closer to patients by operating not just surgery centers but also urgent care centers and primary
care practices.
"SCA is pleased to be working with Allina and we look forward to our partnership delivering high quality
outcomes for patients while reducing the total cost of care," the company said in a statement.
Ambulatory surgical centers are licensed in Minnesota to provide surgical procedures that do not require
overnight inpatient hospital care. The centers have grown as technology improvements, financial pressures
and other factors have pushed more medical procedures outside of inpatient hospitals. Currently, there are
81 licensed ambulatory surgery centers in the state, according to the Minnesota Department of Health.
Page 10
In 2018, Optum's SCA business operated more than 200 surgical facilities, including ambulatory surgery
centers and surgical hospitals, in partnership with approximately 3,000 physicians. When UnitedHealth
Group acquired the business in 2017, SCA had partnerships with three surgery centers in Minnesota.
Bill Evans, a vice president at Allina, said Optum/SCA is expected to become an equity partner in the new
surgery centers.
Ambulatory surgery centers are seen as a lower-cost alternative to hospitals for certain procedures. Over
the past year or so, a number of health insurers have been introducing policies that try to steer more
patients to the facilities for care.
"We are committed to supporting the community with lower-cost settings of care," said Shannon, the chief
operating officer at Allina. "While the payers did not trigger our pursuit of this plan ... we believe the
payers are going to be positively encouraged by our development."

Group, and the business of running hospitals and clinics.
