Now is the perfect time to ensure your center is participating in the CASA Benchmarking Program! The system is currently open for first-quarter 2025 data entry.

The California Ambulatory Surgery Association (CASA) hosted its Annual Summit from April 1-3, bringing together ASC executives, health plan leaders, and healthcare experts to explore strategies for expanding the utilization of Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) in delivering safe, high-quality patient care in California.

The Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) has posted an order adjusting the Hospital Outpatient Departments and Ambulatory Surgical Centers section of the Official Medical Fee Schedule (OMFS) to conform to changes in the Medicare payment system as required by Labor Code section 5307.1.

CASA is encouraging all of our members to consider and begin gathering information to apply for the CASA Award for ASC Excellence. This is a great opportunity to have your ASC acknowledged by your peers and further let the public know about the service you provide. 

It is that time of year to submit your information for the annual CASA Salary Survey. Each year, the survey becomes more successful with increased participation and expanded results.
