Sec. 416.125  ASC facility services payment rate.

overhead amount per procedure derived from an estimate of the costs 
incurred by ambulatory surgical centers generally in providing services 
furnished in connection with the performance of that procedure.
    (b) The payment must be substantially less than would have been paid 
under the program if the procedure had been performed on an inpatient 
basis in a hospital.
