Massachusetts Ambulatory Surgery Center Certification and Licensure Regulations Diana K Powell Esq

Understanding the Certification and Licensure Regulations that govern ASCs in the State of Massachusetts is critical to the success of these facilities. This resource provides a convenient pocket guide to the CM Conditions for Coverage and the State Licensure Regulations. Ambulatory Surgery Center administrators, nursing directors and business office managers are faced with a daunting task - assuring that their facility complies with a wide-range of rules and regulations. The regulations promulgated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) are of primary importance because they affect the eligibility for certification as an ASC and participation in the Medicare program. The Massachusetts State regulations govern the licensure of facilities that operate in Massachusetts. ASCs in the state must adhere to both sets of regulations. While no one volume can provide all of the up-to-date guidance needed for an ASC to understand the State and Federal regulations to maintain certification and licensure, this guide provides a convenient, easy to read reference guide.
