Medicare & Reimbursement FAQ

Where Can I Find Information About Medicare-Approved ASC Procedures?

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) publishes the list of surgical procedures that may be performed in an ambulatory surgery center under the Medicare program. CMS also assigns each approved procedure code to an ASC payment group for reimbursement purposes.

ASC procedure lists, payment information, and proposed Medicare policy changes are updated periodically. ASC leaders should monitor these resources to stay informed about reimbursement changes and regulatory updates that may affect their facilities.
