OAR 333-076-0111: ASC Classification

(1) ASCs shall be classified as follows: (a) Certified; (b) High complexity non-certified; and (c) Moderate complexity non-certified. (2) The classification of each ASC shall be so designated on the license. (3) An ASC licensed by the Authority shall neither assume a descriptive title nor be held out under any descriptive title other than the classification title established by the Authority and under which the ASC is licensed. This not only applies to the name on the facility but where stationery, advertising and other representations are involved. (4) No change in the licensed classification of any ASC, as set out in this rule, shall be allowed by the Authority unless the ASC files a new application in accordance with OAR 333-076-0102. The Authority shall review the application in accordance with OAR 333-076-0103 and if the Authority finds that the applicant is in compliance with health care facility licensing laws and the regulations relating to the new classification for which application for licensure is made, the Authority shall issue a license for such classification.
