CASA's California: Legislative Update
Here are the latest updates for you!
So much is happening in the California Legislature at this moment, we are here to keep you informed.
Advocacy is not optional in our industry - it is essential. The decisions made in Sacramento directly impact how our ASCs operate, how we are reimbursed, how we are regulated, and ultimately how we care for patients. Simply put, if we are not at the table, we are on the menu.

CASA Federal Advocacy Update
2026 Midyear Review: What's Happening Now and What It Means for Your ASC
A lot is moving at the federal level - and it is directly affecting California ASCs.
Bipartisan legislation introduced in March could permanently stabilize Medicare reimbursement - but the clock is ticking. CMS updated ASC payment rates in April, and 276 new procedures were added to the covered list - the largest expansion in recent history.
Nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts are rolling into effect. If you have Medi-Cal patients, pay attention.
The CY 2027 Proposed Rule drops in July. The market basket update expires December 31st.
This is exactly what your CASA PAC dollars support. Every issue in this update is being actively tracked and acted on by CASA on behalf of California ASCs. Advocacy takes resources - and your support makes it possible.
The full 2026 Midyear Federal Advocacy Update is attached.

Important I-9 Update
CASA Keeping California ASCs Informed
As part of CASA’s ongoing commitment to keeping California ASCs informed and prepared, we wanted to share the important compliance update below, regarding Form I-9 requirements and ICE enforcement changes.
These updates significantly increase the risk of penalties for what were previously considered minor technical errors, making it more important than ever for centers to review their current I-9 processes and documentation practices.
