The Ambulatory Surgery Center Association submitted comments to CMS on the Medicare 2023 proposed payment rule Sept. 13, asking the organization to make updates that would benefit ASCs as “high-quality, lower-cost facilities for outpatient surgical care,” the company said in the letter shared with Becker’s.

In March, ASCA submitted 47 codes to CMS to be considered as additions to the ASC-covered procedure list. In its updated rules, CMS only added one: CPT 38531.

Here are the 47 procedures ASCA asked to add, as most are “performed most of the time on an outpatient basis.”
