Summary
The Outpatient Surgery Access Act of 2026 changes how Medicare pays ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) by tying their annual payment updates to the same factor used for outpatient department services. It also bars the use of ASC‑specific budget‑neutrality adjustments and requires volume to be considered when calculating overall budget neutrality. The goal is to simplify and modernize ASC reimbursement.
