Codes That Should Be Added to Medicare's ASC Covered Procedures List in 2024

Help ASCA advocate for the expansion of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) ASC Covered Procedures List (ASC-CPL) by completing a brief survey. The ASC-CPL contains codes that CMS considers clinically appropriate for ASCs to provide to Medicare beneficiaries.

You should complete one survey for each procedure you would like added. In order for ASCA to advocate for specific procedures, we must have answers for every question under #7. These are the exclusionary criteria that will generally keep a code off of the ASC-CPL.

Please provide contact information if you are willing to answer any follow-up questions staff may have, including requests for outcomes data. The more information we have increases the likelihood of success. Responses will be kept strictly confidential.
