  1. Ambulatory surgical centres in the USA have not shown any significant growth in the past few years. Many of them either closed down or merged with bigger medical groups due to revenue issues. According to Provista Report of ASC Survey Findings, reimbursement is the biggest challenge faced by ASCs across the country along with management of days in A/R.  2019 will demand effective revenue cycle management for ambulatory surgery centres. This is because even after changes made by CMS to support ASCs, there are some centres that continue to face difficulties in managing their revenue cycles.

  2. Following are few of the important changes introduced by CMS in its 2019 proposed payment rule for ASCs: The reimbursement rate is increased by 2.1% on an average on all covered procedures for ASCs. The bottomline has been lowered from 40% to 30% for device intensive procedures. Non-opiod pain management drugs will receive separate payments. The definition of 'surgery' is being revised and is proposed to include other surgery like procedures. Also, 12 cardiac catherization procedures are proposed to be added to the current ASC covered list.  ASC Quality Reporting Program witnessed some big changes.
