ASC in Medical Billing
ASC stands for Ambulatory Surgery Center, a facility that provides surgical services on an outpatient basis.
ASC in Medical Billing Explained
Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) provide a wide range of surgical services that do not require an overnight hospital stay. In medical billing, ASCs bill separately from hospitals and follow specific billing guidelines for outpatient procedures. ASCs are reimbursed by Medicare and other insurers based on the procedures performed.
For example, a patient undergoes a cataract surgery at an ASC, and the center submits a claim for reimbursement under the appropriate outpatient billing codes.
