CMS, Access Centers and AScs

Posted By Pierre J. Souraty, Wednesday, December 20, 2017

Do we have an idea about how many Extension of Practice have closed? (not switched to ASC)

Are there any information about the fact that CMS may pay FGM and access related procedures at EOP rates even if an access center went through the ASC certification? and what, as a Society are we planning to do about it?

thanks

Bedbugs?

Posted By Mary L. Nations, Tuesday, September 15, 2015

We have an inquiry from a center which recently encountered a patient with bedbugs.  Have you  experienced this issue and what have you done to deal with it?  Does anyone have any policies on this issue they'd like to share?
