Why shoulder replacements are moving to ASCs

Orthopedic

CMS has approved primary shoulder replacement surgeries to take place in the ASC setting as of Jan. 1. 

Shoulder arthroplasty is one of 37 surgical procedures that CMS added to the ASC covered procedures list for 2024, according to CMS documents released in November.

Additionally, CMS will provide fair reimbursement rates for shoulder arthroplasties taking place in the ASC setting, potentially encouraging the migration of procedures from the hospital setting.
