CMS is reviewing reimbursement for some spine surgeries in ASCs. Here's what that means for you (whether or not you have ASCs).


The safety of certain surgeries are under question after publicized patient deaths that were linked to complications associated with surgeries performed in the ASC setting. As a result, CMS plans to review 38 procedures to determine if they're safely performed in the ASC setting. These procedures are currently reimbursable in the ASC setting and have been since 2015—the list includes high-revenue procedures such as spine surgery, lumbar, cervical spinal fusions, among others.
