Why ASC Central
Built by people who actually run surgery centers, for people who actually run surgery centers.

MBA, CASC — author of the Survey Guide and host of the ASC Podcast.
Survey-focused
Everything is built around what surveyors actually ask for.
Kept current
Regulations move. The library and the training move with them.
Real people to ask
A standing weekly session, not a support ticket.
Straight answers, free to read
Plain-language reference on the questions ASC leaders actually get asked — written from the primary sources, with citations and a verification date.
The Conditions for Coverage
All 14 conditions in 42 CFR Part 416 — including the two requirements quietly deleted in 2019.
How a Medicare survey works
Appendix L, the Exhibit 351 worksheet, real survey frequency, and the plan of correction clock.
What training is required
Sorted by source. Several items on the standard annual checklist are not annual at all.
Choosing an accreditor
The five organizations with CMS deeming authority in 2026, and how they actually differ.
Governing body duties
The board appears in six Conditions for Coverage, not one — and two of its powers are rarely minuted.
ASCQR reporting
The measures still required after four were removed, the deadlines, and the payment penalty.
Infection control requirements
What 416.51 demands, who may direct the program, and the single-lapse scoring rule.
The Covered Procedures List
The eligibility test was rewritten for 2026 and the Inpatient Only list ends in 2029.
