The agency may also make changes to the way it adds codes to the ASC payable list in the future. It proposed establishing a nomination process that would engage external stakeholders, including professional societies, to recommend procedures for the ASC payable list and then CMS would finalize those procedures on an annual basis beginning with the 2022 proposed rule.
CMS also proposed revising the criteria for the ASC payable list, eliminating five of the general exclusion criteria and adding 270 potential surgery or surgery-like codes to the payable list that weren’t on the 2020 inpatient only list.
