Medicare Certification for Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs)
Becoming a CMS-certified Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) is essential for facilities serving Medicare and Medicaid patients. However, navigating the Medicare certification process can be complex, and delays in obtaining your CMS Certification Number (CCN) can negatively impact billing, cash flow, and case volume growth.
At Ambulatory Strategies, Inc. (ASI), our experienced ASC consultants provide comprehensive support to ensure your Medicare certification application and survey process is smooth, efficient, and successful.
Why Medicare Certification is Critical for ASCs
Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements represent a significant portion of revenue for many ASCs. Without CMS certification, your facility cannot bill Medicare or Medicaid, potentially limiting your patient base and profitability.
Our ASC Medicare certification services help facilities:
- Submit CMS Provider Applications Accurately & On Time – Avoid delays that could impact revenue.
- Prepare for the CMS Certification Survey – Ensuring compliance with CMS quality and safety standards.
- Secure a CMS Certification Number (CCN) – Allowing your ASC to legally bill Medicare and Medicaid.
- Streamline the Process – Minimizing administrative burdens and accelerating approval timelines.

3. Achieving & Maintaining CMS Compliance

The Consequences of Delays in Medicare Certification
- Extended Approval Timelines – Delayed applications postpone your ability to bill Medicare and Medicaid.
- Cash Flow Disruptions – Without CMS certification, your ASC loses a critical revenue stream.
