Ambulatory Surgery Center Regulation

Understanding the Conditions for Coverage for an Ambulatory Surgery Center as well as how they are interpreted by CMS is critical for ASC leaders. This resource provides a convenient pocket guide to the Conditions for Coverage. Ambulatory Surgery Center administrators, nursing directors and business office managers are faced with a daunting task - assuring that their facility complies with a wide-range of rules and regulations. The regulations promulgated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) are of primary importance because they affect the eligibility for certification as an ASC and participation in the Medicare program. While no one volume can provide all of the up-to-date guidance needed for an ASC to understand the Medicare regulations to maintain certification and licensure, this guide provides a convenient, easy to read reference to the CMS regulations.
