## Summary

**Caps Medicare coinsurance for certain ambulatory surgical center (ASC) facility services at the annual inpatient hospital deductible.** It would require Medicare to pay ASCs the difference when a beneficiary's coinsurance would otherwise exceed that deductible. - Families and beneficiaries: For ASC facility services covered under section 1833(a)(1)(G), a patient's coinsurance in a year would not exceed that year's inpatient hospital deductible. - Ambulatory surgical centers and suppliers: Medicare would reduce the beneficiary's coinsurance to the deductible amount and pay the supplier the difference between the original coinsurance and the cap. - Timing and scope: The change would apply only to facility services described in section 1833(a)(1)(G) and to services furnished on or after Jan. 1, 2026.
