The right model depends on your specialty, practice size, payer mix, and denial rate. This article breaks it all down. 1. The 3 Medical Billing […]

Yes—California ASCs are accepting site-of-service reimbursement cuts of $680–$2,400 per procedure they could fight because commercial payers downgrade ASC facility fees to hospital outpatient rates, apply arbitrary “site neutrality” policies without contract language supporting them, and deny implant pass-through costs claiming procedures should transfer to physician offices when ASC contracts explicitly guarantee higher facility fee […]
