Ambulatory surgery center billing
Freestanding ambulatory surgery centers
If you're a freestanding ambulatory surgery center (ASC), submit your claims using an HCFA 1500 form. This is the same process that's required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).Use the HCFA 1500 form for all members, including commercial group and individual, Medicaid and Medicare.
Hospital-based ambulatory surgery centers
For ASCs owned by a hospital, submit claims on the UB form, not the HCFA 1500.
Not sure if you're freestanding or hospital-based?
It depends on how you're legally organized and contracted with us. If you have questions, call the Provider Helpline at 800.942.4765.
