Here are 24 benchmarks to know on gastroenterology procedures in ASCs, gastroenterologist salary and more from a collection of sources in the industry.

Surgery centers with more than two specialties accounted for 30 percent of ASCs billing Medicare in 2016, and single-specialty gastroenterology centers accounted for 22 percent, according to The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission's March 2018 report to Congress.

The report defines a "single-specialty ASC" as one with more than 67 percent of its Medicare claims in one clinical specialty and a "multispecialty ASC" as one with more than 67 percent of its Medicare claims in more than one clinical specialty. The sum of multispecialty percentages doesn't equal 100 the total due to rounding. Here's a breakdown on the specializations that billed Medicare in 2016.

Gastroenterology
1. Number of ASCs: 1,025
2. Share of all ASCs: 22 percent

Gastroenterology and ophthalmology
