Proposed Medical Building on Highway 9
A facility with the sole purpose of providing outpatient surgical care
"An Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) is defined as a facility with the sole purpose of providing outpatient surgical services to patients. Ambulatory surgical centers can be identified with a hospital-based entity or can be a freestanding outpatient surgical center. While ASC claims have some similarities to hospital claims when it comes to billing, there are some very distinct differences.
An example of a difference in the use of modifiers is that Blue Cross Blue Shield** requires the use of modifier 50, which distinguishes the procedure as a bilateral procedure, with 2 units of service. Medicare, on the other hand, requires either a modifier 50 or modifier RT and LT on separate lines with 1 unit of service.
