- Why are some measure values suppressed for ATHENS DIGESTIVE ENDOSCOPY CENTER?

- Why is ASC-12 shown as a category rather than a percentage?
- ASC-12 measures the rate of unplanned visits after colonoscopy. CMS reports ASC-12 as a performance category ("Better Than the National Rate," "No Different Than the National Rate," or "Worse Than the National Rate") rather than a raw percentage, because it is a risk-adjusted outcome measure that CMS benchmarks against the national norm.
