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 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
