# 416.180 Basis and scope.

(a) *Basis.* This subpart implements section 141 of Public Law 103-432, which provides for adjustments to payment amounts for new technology intraocular lenses (IOLs) furnished at ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs).

(b) *Scope.* This subpart sets forth—

(1) The process for interested parties to request that CMS review the appropriateness of the ASC facility fee for insertion of an IOL. This process includes a review of whether that payment is reasonable and related to the cost of acquiring a lens determined by CMS as belonging to a class of new technology IOLs;

(2) Factors that CMS considers for determination of a new class of new technology IOLs; and

(3) Application of the payment adjustment.
