Despite concerted efforts by the Arrhythmia Intervention Society (AIS) and our allies in the field, cardiac electrophysiology (EP) procedures, including critical interventions such as ablations, electrophysiological studies, and cardioversions, were not included in the ASC Covered Procedure List (CPL)

The Arrhythmia Intervention Society (AIS) is rallying support for HR 10073, a vital legislation that promises safeguarding access to specialized cardiac care for Medicare seniors.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) are expected to release the final rule for the 2025 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) and ASC Payment System on November 1, which could mark a significant turning point for electrophysiology (EP) procedures in Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs). This decision will impact many aspects of cardiac care delivery, especially for procedures that AIS (Arrhythmia Intervention Society) has long advocated to make accessible in the ASC setting.
