Beginning September 9, ASCs in Pennsylvania no longer need to submit waivers to perform some common procedures routinely performed in ASCs in other states, including various total joint, laparoscopic, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and dialysis and vascular access procedures. Under a new law, SB 818, surgery centers in the state are now able to “perform surgical procedures permitted under federal or state law or regulation and surgical procedures specified on the ASC-CPL on the effective date of this section that do not otherwise conflict with state regulations.”
