Abstract
Although 3 organizations have achieved "deemed status" with respect to accreditation of ambulatory surgical facilities, only Medicare may grant certification. An initial accreditation review also may be combined with a Medicare certification review. However, Medicare requirements can be quite rigorous, especially with regard to the physical plant layout. (Aesthetic Surg J 2001; 21:375-376.).
