| | Some commenters took the position that the list be abandoned altogether; others recommended leaving the choice of where a surgical procedure is to be performed to those best able to determine which setting is most appropriate, namely, the physician, in consultation with the patient, and the anesthesiologist. | | | One commenter expressed apprehension that expanding the ASC list could result in edicts from HCFA or other purchasers of health care that once added to the ASC list, a procedure must be performed in an ASC, without taking into account the individual patient's condition or the suitability of an ASC for a particular procedure. | | | Therefore, we decided that if a procedure was performed on an inpatient basis 20 percent of the time or less, or in a physician's office 50 percent of the time or more, it should be excluded from the ASC list. |
