Kara Newbury is the Director of Government Affairs and Regulatory Counsel at ASCA, and we had the chance to chat with her about CMS’ recently released 2024 Final Payment Rule. We covered reimbursement rates, updates to the ASC Covered Procedures List, quality reporting changes, OAS-CAHPS, and other essential details all ASCs should know.

In our news recap, we’ll cover five moves that shook up the ASC industry in 2023, the debate over the root cause of current staffing issues, the data revolution taking place, and, of course, end the news segment with a positive story about a college student who found a kidney donor through TikTok.
