The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued the annual 2011 final payment rule for hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) on November 2, 2010. With this final rule, CMS is implementing the final step transitioning ASCs from the historic ‘grouper’ system to the revised ASC payment system based exclusively on the relative weights used in the hospital outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS).
