Physician office space in an ambulatory surgical center.

Medicare requires that ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) be operated exclusively for the purpose of providing surgical services to patients who do not require hospitalization. As a result, ASCs have been reluctant to establish physician office space within their facilities for non-surgical procedures due to fear of losing their Medicare certification for failure to satisfy the exclusivity requirement.
