MMA's regulatory services, related to the development of an ambulatory surgery center ("ASC"),
provide our clients with the expertise to navigate the complex regulatory requirements
necessary to obtain certificate of need ("CON") approval, state licensure and Medicare
certification. CON approval or an exemption is typically required prior to obtaining
licensure, Medicare, certification and accreditation. Forty-three states require state licensure for
ASCs. Many states require accreditation for office-based surgery suites.
They, also, specify the criteria that ASC's must meet for licensure.

- Preparation of required documentation to obtain approval under state certificate of need regulations or obtain an exemption, as applicable.
- Preparation of all policy and procedure manuals for the ASC to ensure compliance with the highest level of standards based on accreditation, licensure and/or Medicare certification.
