	BioMed Central \| Full text \| A methodology to estimate the potential to move inpatient to one day surgery
		The eligibility of a procedure to be treated as a day case was mainly established on three a priori criteria: surgical access (endoscopic or not), the invasiveness of the procedure and the size of the operated organ.
		The coherence and the content validity of the proposed list are ensured by the classification algorithm, grounded on the surgical route, the complexity of the surgical deed and the mass of injured tissue.
		Finally, a few surgical procedures identified which qualified as day cases by the classification algorithm, were neither featured in the Swiss consensual list nor performed as day cases in canton Vaud, and were only discussed in anecdotal literature reports: corneal transplantation [54], large skin grafting [55], reconstruction of external ear [56], testicular surgery [57].

		One must simply "dissect" the surgical procedure (no pun intended), much like a college Literature student would do.

	PROPOSAL FOR A REVISED PAYMENT SYSTEM FOR SERVICES PROVIDED IN AMBULATORY SURGICAL CENTERS (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The expanded list of ASC services together with the improved payment accuracy under the revised payment system should encourage the selection of the most appropriate setting for the delivery of high quality, efficient care for patients undergoing surgical procedures.
		Beginning in CY 2008, payment for office-based surgical procedures would be limited to the lesser of the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule nonfacility practice expense payment or the otherwise applicable ASC rate. Office-based procedures that are on the ASC list as of January 1, 2007 would be exempt from the payment limitation.
		With the expected improved payment accuracy of the revised ASC payment system, we are proposing to significantly expand the list of surgical procedures for which ASCs may receive a facility fee by excluding from payment only those procedures that pose a significant safety risk or require an overnight stay.

	Legal Briefs: Changing the Rules - by Diane Millman, JD, and Eric Zimmerman, JD
		The payment due a hospital for performing a given outpatient procedure will be determined by multiplying the relative payment weight of the procedure's APC by a conversion factor, a wage-index adjustment, and any other adjustments applicable to the hospital.
		The 1980 legislation authorizing Medicare reimbursement for ambulatory surgery centers directed the DHHS Secretary to define a list of surgical procedures that could be performed appropriately in an ambulatory surgery center and that would be reimbursable when performed in that setting.
		Today, the list of approved procedures has grown to include approximately 2,500 surgical interventions classified in eight payment groups, with reimbursement rates ranging from $314 for group 1 to $941 for group 7.

		While posterior capsulotomy is usually effective, as with any surgical procedure, rare complications can occur such as swelling or detachment of the retina, and loss of vision.

	Rural Assistance Center :: News Details
		ASC payment rates would be set using the relative payment weight determined for a particular surgical procedure multiplied by a conversion factor that CMS would calculate so that expenditures for ASC services in CY 2008 under the revised payment system would not exceed Medicare expenditures if they were paid under the current system.
		To eliminate incentives to perform services in an ASC that could be safely performed in a physician office, payment for office-based surgical procedures would be capped at the lesser of the non-facility practice expense payment under Medicare’s Physician Fee Schedule or the ASC payment rate.
		The proposed rule would also add 14 surgical procedures to the current list of Medicare approved ASC services for 2007 and implement a provision of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) that caps payment for ASC procedures in 2007 at the lesser of the ASC rate or the OPPS rate for the procedure.

		Scully: The organizations listed below urge CMS to update the list of procedures approved for a facility fee when performed in the ambulatory surgery center setting.
		As you know, CMS is obligated by statute to update the list of surgical procedures approved for the ASC setting every two years.
		Medicare beneficiaries deserve the broadest range of choice for their surgical needs, as is currently available in many private health plans, and the delay in the release of the list limits their access to a patient preferred site of care.
