On September 25, 2019, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a final rule to relieve burden on healthcare providers by “removing unnecessary, obsolete or excessively burdensome Medicare compliance requirements for healthcare providers and suppliers.” CMS estimates that these changes will collectively save healthcare providers approximately $843 million in the first year and slightly more in future years. There are two changes specific to ASCs and a third—regarding emergency preparedness requirements—that impacts many providers, including ASCs.
