CMS Pub. 100-02, ch. 15, § 260.5
List of Covered Ambulatory Surgical Center Procedures
The law ties coverage of ambulatory surgical center (ASC) services under Part B to
specified surgical procedures, which are contained in a list revised and published
periodically by CMS. Groupings and related prices are also published periodically.
These are published in the Federal Register and on the CMS Web site.
Beginning January 1, 2008, under the revised ASC payment system, CMS will update the
list of covered surgical procedures, relative payment weights and national unadjusted
payment rates, annually. The updates will be proposed and finalized in the Federal
Register concurrent with updates to the hospital outpatient prospective payment system.
