Shoulder arthroplasty is one of 37 surgical procedures that CMS added to the ASC covered procedures list for 2024, according to CMS documents released in November.

Additionally, CMS will provide fair reimbursement rates for shoulder arthroplasties taking place in the ASC setting, potentially encouraging the migration of procedures from the hospital setting.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
