- An ASC is a medical facility which specializes in providing sameday surgical care. This means patients who undergo procedures at an ASC are typically able to go home on the same day, rather than being required to stay overnight in a hospital. ASCs are typically focused on providing a limited range of surgical procedures that
do not require an overnight stay. - It is important to note that Medicare coverage for ASC services may vary depending on the specific Medicare plan a beneficiary has. Some plans may require a copayment or a deductible for certain services or may have limits on the number of covered procedures. It is also important to be aware that Medicare does not cover all procedures performed at an ASC. For example, Medicare does not cover cosmetic surgery or procedures that are
considered experimental or investigational.
