ASC billing requires mastery of APC groupings, device pass-throughs, facility vs. professional fee splits, and payer-specific ASC regulations our specialists manage daily.
ASC facility fees are reimbursed based on APC (Ambulatory Payment Classification) groupings. We correctly map every procedure to its APC, apply composite APCs where applicable, and ensure facility claims are structured to capture the maximum allowable payment under CMS ASC payment schedules.
Device and implant billing requires HCPCS Level II codes alongside surgical CPTs. Missed device billing is the most common revenue gap in ASCs. We track every implant, identify pass-through eligibility, and submit complete device documentation to prevent underpayment on high-cost cases.
ASC NCCI edits differ from physician setting edits. Modifiers CG, QX, QY, and QZ apply in the ASC context for supervised anesthesia. We apply correct modifiers for every procedure, preventing bundling denials and ensuring all separately payable services are captured.
ASC procedures require upfront authorization and strict medical necessity documentation. We manage pre-auth for all scheduled procedures, track approvals, and maintain payer-specific authorization requirements preventing same-day cancellations and post-procedure denials.
Surgeons bill CMS-1500 for professional fees while the ASC bills UB-04 for facility fees. We coordinate billing across both tracks ensuring correct place-of-service codes, accurate fee splits, and no duplicate billing between the facility and professional claims.
CMS requires ASCs participating in Medicare to submit data under the ASC Quality Reporting Program. We support ASCQR data collection and submission, monitor compliance with Medicare Conditions for Coverage, and conduct internal audits to protect your center from survey deficiencies.

Common Questions
Direct answers about ASC billing, APC coding, device capture, prior authorization, and compliance. View all specialties we serve.
ASC billing uses facility fee structures under the CMS ASC payment system rather than the physician fee schedule. Claims are submitted on the UB-04 for facility fees while the operating surgeon bills separately on the CMS-1500. ASC payment rates are based on APC (Ambulatory Payment Classification) groupings, and correct coding requires knowledge of device pass-throughs, implant billing, and ASC-specific NCCI edits that differ from the physician setting.
Device and implant billing in the ASC setting requires separate HCPCS codes for the implanted hardware plus the surgical CPT code. We track device costs, identify pass-through eligibility, apply correct HCPCS Level II codes, and ensure all implant documentation meets payer requirements. Missed device billing is one of the most common sources of revenue loss in ASC environments.
We initiate pre-authorization requests before scheduled procedures, track approval timelines, document medical necessity, and follow up with payers proactively. Our team maintains payer-specific authorization requirements for all high-volume ASC procedure categories, preventing same-day cancellations and post-procedure authorization denials.
Our ASC billing services comply with Medicare Conditions for Coverage (CFCs), HIPAA data security requirements, and CMS ASC Quality Reporting (ASCQR) Program requirements. We monitor CMS and commercial payer policy updates, apply NCCI edits and ASC-specific modifiers (CG, QX, QY, QZ), and conduct internal compliance audits to protect your center from audit risk.
