Ambulatory Surgical Centers Billing: Comprehensive Solutions for ASCs

Why Specialized Billing for ASCs is Essential

Billing for Ambulatory Surgery Centers is tightly regulated by numerous federal and state-level regulations and statutes. These regulations cover every aspect of ASC operations, including their daily activities and payment policies. The majority of ASC patients are beneficiaries of Medicare, necessitating strict compliance with Medicare regulations. Additionally, ASCs must adhere to other laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
