Effective revenue cycle management for ambulatory surgery 
centres is because even after changes made by CMS to support 
ASCs, there are some centres that continue to face difficulties in 
managing their revenue cycles. 
Ambulatory surgical centres in the USA have not shown any 
significant growth in the past few years. Many of them either 
closed down or merged with bigger medical groups due to revenue 
issues. According to Provista Report of ASC Survey Findings, 
reimbursement is the biggest challenge faced by ASCs across the 
country along with management of days in A/R.

Following are few of the important changes introduced by 
CMS in its proposed payment rule for ASCs:
 The reimbursement rate is increased by 2.1% on an average on all 
covered procedures for ASCs. However, not every procedure will 
experience this change, as it is code-specific.
 The bottom line has been lowered from 40% to 30% for device 
intensive procedures.
 Non-opioid pain management  drugs will receive separate 
payments.
 The definition of 'surgery' is being revised and is proposed to 
include other surgery like procedures. Also, 12 cardiac 
catherization procedures are proposed to be added to the current 
ASC covered list. 
 ASC Quality Reporting Program witnessed some big changes. ASC-

8 was removed and beginning 2021, ASC-10 will also be removed.

Billing Guidelines for ASC:
 Understanding the currently effective billing and payment 
guidelines is the most important step that the ASC billing 
team will have to achieve in order to diminish RCM concerns.
 Billers will have to ensure that the days in A/R for the surgical 
centre is reduced.  
 Error-free coding is the lifeline of every surgical centre. AMA 
added 170 new codes, deleted 82 codes and revised 60 codes
 ASCs will also have to manage and keep up with the payer 
contracts because they are also subject to frequent changes. 
 To avoid Medicare payment reductions under the ASC quality 
Reporting Program, providers will have to invest time and 
effort into making sure that the measures are being reported 
correctly.
