Questions centers ask us.
How quickly can Pontine start covering our center?
Credentialing is usually the longest step — typically 30 to 90 days depending on your facility and payors. We run credentialing in parallel with scheduling and workflow planning so coverage can begin as soon as privileges are granted.
Do your physicians carry their own malpractice coverage?
Yes. Every Pontine physician carries individual malpractice coverage at standard policy limits, and we provide certificates of insurance during credentialing.
How does staffing work — will we see the same anesthesiologists?
We staff a small, consistent team per facility rather than rotating strangers through your ORs. Your surgeons and staff work with anesthesiologists who know your center, your cases, and your pace.
What does a transition from our current group look like?
We plan transitions to be invisible to your schedule: credentialing first, then a shadow period alongside your current coverage if desired, then cutover — no cancelled cases, no coverage gaps.
How does billing work between Pontine, our center, and patients?
Pontine bills payors and patients directly for anesthesia professional fees — separate from facility fees. We are transparent about payor participation up front, which is why our intake form asks about your payor mix.
Which facilities and regions do you serve?
Ambulatory surgery centers, office-based surgical practices, endoscopy suites, fertility clinics, and dental offices across the San Francisco Bay Area. We are 100% outpatient and do not pursue hospital contracts.
