Choose the planned procedure and as many as three Medicare-certified ambulatory surgery centers. The report organizes available CMS safety, procedure-related hospital-visit, and OAS CAHPS patient-experience information.
Confirm that outpatient surgery is appropriate for you. The surgeon and anesthesia professional should consider your health, procedure, expected recovery, and access to emergency care. In an emergency, call 911 or seek immediate care.
1. Describe the procedure
For your notes and questions only. Entering a procedure name here does not search for it or retrieve additional results. Use the procedure category above to select available CMS measures. For example, choose “Colonoscopy” above to see available results for that category. CMS does not publish comparable outcomes for every procedure.
2. Select the exact centers
Search by facility name, city, ZIP code, or CMS facility ID.
No overall CMS star: CMS does not assign ambulatory surgery centers an overall 1–5 quality star comparable to hospitals or nursing homes. The colored shape is created by this guide from selected public measures and must be read with its explanation.
How to read the summary
A missing or suppressed result never supports green. A center may perform a procedure even when CMS cannot report a procedure-specific result.
