The newly-added ASCs are the Allegheny Health Network Monroeville (Pa.) Surgery Center and the Boston Outpatient Surgical Suites. Approved services will be covered by the Centers of Excellence program beginning Jan. 1, 2022.
The program provides bariatric and joint replacement surgeries at no cost to participants, along with free transportation to and from surgery and no copays from the date of surgery to 30 days afterward.
Participants must live within 50 miles of a qualifying facility and must use both a provider and a facility that is covered by the program in order to be covered, according to the news release.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 18–20 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
