Confusion Over Outpatient Gallbladder Surgery
Will Lap Chole Make the 2008 ASC List?
Will laparoscopic cholecystectomies ever appear on the ASC list? Not in 2007, but maybe in 2008, when Medicare's revised ASC payment system takes effect. It's hard to say, because the proposed ASC payment policy for 2008 contradicts itself when discussing lap choles.
