How Do ASC Insurance Payments Stack Up?

OAASC's Reimbursement Survey Provides the Answer

The OAASC has created a tool that provides Ohio ASCs with a clearer picture of third party payer payment trends.  The OAASC developed and implemented a survey to gather reimbursement data from members, statistcally analyzed that data for accuracy and ensured that the survey and its results were well within legal boundaries. 

In the past, centers have found this information to be valuable to both management staff and physician leadership. The OAASC Reimbursement Committee has again initiated this survey to benefits Ohio ASCs with reimbursement data for decisionmaking. 

SAMPLE SURVEY

The survey is divided into three components: Most used CPT codes by specialty, charges for those codes and average reimbursements for those codes. Grouper payments or reimbursement levels by payers.  Reimbursement trends/strategies by payers   What Are the Benefits of the Survey?: Having current comparisons of reimbursement rates;

• Using anonymous data to compare private payer rates to Medicare;
• Having an objective tool to measure your ASC's reimbursement strengths and weaknesses.

If you participated in the survey, you will receive a copy for FREE.
