The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) is offering for the first time in 2011 a version of its handbook for organizations seeking Medicare Deemed Status.
This new version of the handbook —Accreditation Handbook Including Medicare Requirements for Ambulatory Surgery Centers — is for ASCs seeking AAAHC accreditation in addition to Medicare Deemed Status, or those interested in reviewing the Medicare certification process and requirements as well as the AAAHC standards.
The AAAHC will continue to offer its standard handbook —Accreditation Handbook for Ambulatory Health Care — without the Medicare certification process information.
The 2011 publications are expected to start shipping early March 2011.
