ASC Management for Accreditation and Compliance
ASC management requires steering through a complex landscape of accreditation and compliance. Meeting the high standards set by accrediting organizations and regulatory bodies is crucial for delivering exceptional patient care and achieving operational excellence. Ambulatory Strategies, Inc. offers a range of specialized services designed to support your ASC in attaining and maintaining the necessary certifications and adhering to regulatory requirements.
AAAHC Accreditation
CMS Certification
Securing CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) certification is another essential step for ASCs seeking Medicare reimbursements. Adherence to CMS regulations is critical for eligibility to receive Medicare payments. This certification aligns your center with federal guidelines and ensures that you meet the necessary standards to qualify for Medicare reimbursement. Compliance with CMS regulations involves implementing practices that adhere to federal requirements and ensure your ASC’s operational processes meet established criteria.
