Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will award $572,250 to 12 states to conduct surveys on 125 Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC) by September 30.
This is the first installment of increased regulation for ASCs. In October, CMS will provide $9 million to all states to do inspections.
