ASC Billing Services for Facility Fee Coding, Implant Billing & CMS Compliance
Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) billing is unique, involving facility fees for surgical procedures performed in the outpatient setting, separate from professional fees. This requires a deep understanding of the ASC payment system, covered procedures lists, and specific billing rules for implants and devices. Our ASC billing service is designed to optimize your center's revenue, ensuring accurate coding for all surgeries, proper handling of implantable device charges, and compliance with CMS and commercial payer ASC regulations.
ASC Facility Fee Coding & UB-04 Billing
Accurate facility fee coding for all ASC-covered procedures using correct revenue codes, procedure codes, and UB-04 claim form requirements, ensuring maximum reimbursement under the CMS ASC payment system.
Implant & High-Cost Device Billing
Expert C-code billing for Medicare implantable devices, pass-through item documentation, and commercial payer implant contract compliance, ensuring all high-cost surgical supplies are separately captured and billed.
Multiple Procedure Discount Management
Systematic application of ASC multiple procedure payment reductions — 100% for the primary procedure and 50% for secondary procedures — with correct procedure ranking and payer-specific discount rule compliance.
CMS ASC Covered Procedure List Compliance
Proactive verification that every scheduled procedure appears on the CMS ASC approved procedures list before scheduling, preventing facility fee denials for services not covered in the ambulatory surgery setting.
