Understanding the Conditions for Coverage for an Ambulatory Surgery Center as well as how they are interpreted by CMS is critical for ASC leaders. This resource provides a convenient pocket guide to the Conditions for Coverage. Ambulatory Surgery Center administrators, nursing directors and business office managers are faced with a daunting task - assuring that their facility complies with a wide-range of rules and regulations.
