Welcome to This Week in Surgery Centers. If you're in the ASC industry, then you're in the right place.

We're excited to share with you what we have, so let's get started and see what the industry's been up to.

Hi, everyone. Here's what you can expect on today's episode. This week, we're continuing our Trust the Data series with Terry Ross, who leads the prevention and recovery businesses at Inovus. Terry joins us to explain how the NO PAIN Act is creating a Medicare reimbursement pathway for qualifying opioid-sparing treatments in surgery centers and hospital outpatient departments. Terry also shares practical guidance on implementation, reimbursement, and how centers can evaluate the evidence behind these treatments.

After the conversation, we'll cover new bipartisan legislation focused on Medicare ASC payments, what recent financial results from HCA and tenant reveal about case mix, and a commercial payer reimbursement change affecting moderate sedation billing. I hope everyone enjoys the episode, and here's what's going on this week in Surgery Centers.
