This is a huge step for ASCs: CMS has removed the provision in Conditions for Coverage that requires an ASC to have a radiologist on staff: §416.49(b)(2). The new language states, “If radiologic services are utilized, the governing body must appoint an individual qualified in accordance with State law and ASC policies who is responsible for assuring that all radiologic services are provided in accordance with the requirements of this section.” CMS estimates that the change will save ASCs $41 million annually.
