1. For ASCs to receive payments from Medicare or Medicaid, they must adhere to government requirements, including a certification of compliance with the health and safety requirements called Conditions of Participation or Conditions for Coverage.
2. The certification is awarded through a state agency survey or through another body on behalf of the federal government.
3. ASCs that receive accreditation through a deemed-status survey by The Joint Commission have shown they meet Medicare and Medicaid requirements.
