Adding Cardiovascular and Vascular Procedures in ASCs

For many years, ASCA has led advocacy efforts that resulted in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services adding several new cardiovascular and vascular procedure codes to the ASC Covered Procedures List.

 In this episode of the Advancing Surgical Care Podcast, ASCA Chief Advocacy Officer Kara Newbury talks with Deb Yoder, a facilities development specialist and an accomplished nurse with frontline experience in operating rooms, cardiac catheterization labs, intensive care and surgery centers. Tune in to hear Yoder discuss the design, regulatory and equipment requirements needed to add cardiovascular and vascular procedures in an ASC.
