Plain-English Summary
The proposal would cap how much Medicare patients have to pay out of pocket for certain surgical procedures performed at ambulatory surgical centers, which are outpatient facilities where patients don't stay overnight. This would reduce patients' coinsurance costs—the percentage of medical bills they share with Medicare—for these specific services, making surgery more affordable for seniors and disabled Americans covered by Medicare.
