The bill also expands exemptions for multispecialty, physician-owned ASCs to bypass certificate of need requirements before the full repeal would be enacted in 2025.
The bill, which was cleared by the House Special Committee on Access to Quality Healthcare, would need to clear the House Rules Committee and pass on the floor by March 15 to move on to the Senate, according to Georgia Health News.
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.
