Surgikal Assistants, Inc.
How much could your facility save by outsourcing surgical assistants?
Based on the AORN staffing formula, this calculator estimates your annual labor cost compared to the Surgikal outsourcing model.
Built-in assumptions: 60% of operating rooms require a surgical assistant based on
ACS guidelines for surgical assistant need. When staffed through Surgikal, the outsourced assistant bills the patient's commercial insurer directly in 50%-60% of cases, generating zero invoice to your facility for those cases.

How Surgikal actually contracts: Surgikal Assistants typically structures agreements on a per-case basis adjusted for case acuity, not a flat hourly rate. The hourly figure above is provided as a reference estimate only and will vary based on procedure type, complexity, and facility agreement.
