title: A happy new year for ASCs?
abstract: From a high-level policy perspective, the new ASC payment methodology includes many important and welcome improvements over the existing payment system. At ground-level, however, the new payment system will yield mixed results for ASCs. Some procedures will benefit substantially under this new system, while others will experience significant decreases in revenue.
