Seq#15605 (Facility Classification Type)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript discusses the classification of facilities for cardiovascular procedures based on ASC data collection tools. Facilities can be classified as either ambulatory surgical centers (ASC) or office-based labs (OBL) based on local and state regulations. The definitions are sourced from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). An ASC provides diagnostic and surgical services on an ambulatory basis, while an OBL offers examinations, diagnosis, and treatment of illnesses on an ambulatory basis. If unsure about classification, the transcript suggests seeking internal clarification to support accurate coding.
