ASCA will push for the reintroduction of the bill if provisions to the bill are not considered or included in a larger consolidated spending bill.
The organization is planning on addressing the issue at its next National Advocacy Day, an event where members of ASCA can meet with policymakers in Congress that has been on hiatus because of the pandemic. It is slated for Feb. 27 to March 1, 2023.
Bill sponsors in both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate have agreed to prioritize the bill’s reintroduction in the next congressional session, according to ASC Focus.
The bill works to protect Medicare beneficiaries’ access to quality outpatient surgery.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 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.
