ASCs usually bill a majority of outpatient surgical services using CPT and HCPCS Level II codes, but some private insurance providers may also allow ICD codes to be used for reimbursements.
Majority of the ambulatory surgery center patients are beneficiaries of Medicare, and therefore must comply with regulations set by Medicare. ASCs must also continuously comply with other additional laws including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA).
For any Medicare-covered service, a specific CPT code has been assigned which carries a relatively similar weightage as any other procedure performed under an outpatient APC system. Using unique ASC conversion factors, these codes are then translated to a standard flat payment.
Although a hospital-operated facility can also provide ASC services, it must sign an agreement with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ( CMS) in order to be covered by Medicare.
However, ASCs will soon have to implement the latest updates from ICD-11 for diagnosis, when they come into effect. Medicare billing for ASCs does not require C-Codes to be used as in an outpatient setting. However, Medicare has separate rules and regulations for drug and device reimbursements.
