In this rule we propose to-- <bullet> Update the criteria for determining which surgical procedures can be appropriately and safely performed in an ambulatory surgical center (ASC); <bullet> Make additions to and deletions from the current list of Medicare covered ASC procedures based on the revised criteria; <bullet> Rebase the ASC payment rates using cost, charge, and utilization data collected by a 1994 survey of ASCs; <bullet> Refine the ratesetting methodology that was implemented by a final notice published on February 8, 1990 in the Federal Register; <bullet> Require that ASC payment, coverage, and wage index updates be implemented annually on January 1 rather than having these updates occur randomly throughout the year; <bullet> Reduce regulatory burden; and <bullet> Make several technical policy changes. This proposed rule implements requirements of section 1833(i)(1) and (2) of the Social Security Act.
