title: Medicare program: list of covered surgical procedures for certain ambulatory surgical services. Health Care Financing Administration. Proposed notice.
abstract: Under the proposed rules published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, reimbursement would be available under the Medicare Supplementary Insurance program (Part B) for independent ambulatory surgical center (ASC) facility services in connection with certain surgical procedures. For those same procedures, physicians would be reimbursed at 100 percent of their reasonable charges for providing services in connection with the procedure performed in a participating ASC, on an outpatient basis in a hospital or in a hospital-affiliated ambulatory surgical center (HAASC) if certain requirements are met. This notice contains the proposed list of the surgical procedures pertinent to these reimbursement provisions.
