Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) are health care facilities which offer
the opportunity to have selected surgical and procedural services
performed outside the hospital setting. These are usually surgical
procedures that allow the patient to enter the center, have the surgery
and leave the center the same day. States once again must decide what
method they will use in regulating these fees. This table itemizes this
information as of January 1, 2008 for the states that regulate these
fees in the workers' compensation system. |
