CMS updates ASC payment information for value-drive healthcare
Ambulatory Surgery Reimbursement Update, September 11, 2007
CMS published a list of last year's ASC data August 29, according to the CMS Web site. This cost and quality data, which the Department of Health and Human Services made available to all Americans, is part of President Bush's pledge to provide reasonably priced and accessible health care.
Prior to this recent data release, Medicare "posted information about the payments it made to hospitals in fiscal year 2005 for common elective procedures and other hospital admissions" on June 1, 2006, according to the CMS Web site.
The available information is categorized by county and state, and includes average charge and payment data.
