The Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF) is considering a change to the payment methodology for Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASC).

At two public meetings (on April 5 and 12), HCPF staff presented an overview of the current methodology and the pros and cons of 4 options (including keeping the unchanged current methodology). At the informational meetings, staff did not accept feedback and took questions only. Both meetings presented the same information.

As a refresher, the four options are:

Option #1: Do nothing - keep current methodology.

Option #2: Reform current methodology, including grouper realignment, add new codes to the grouper, and multiple procedure discounting.

Option #3: Enhanced Ambulatory Patient Grouper (EAPG).

Option #4: Medicare payment methodology.

Recordings of the meetings are available upon request and will be posted on the HCPF website.

Please use this feedback form to submit feedback to HCPF about the potential ASC methodology change.

Feedback will be used by HCPF staff to help determine if a new option will be pursued and, if so, which option will be pursued. Some options require additional resources, which must be requested in a lengthy process that is likely to last nearly a year. HCPF staff will follow-up occasionally to share what they can as the process progresses, or you can reach out to HCPF staff at any time. To sign up for email updates, please use this form.

Do not share any protected health information (PHI) via this form. Additionally, any comments that are threatening or hateful in nature will be removed.
