ASC vs. HOPD - CMS rules

Question: With the Medicare changes regarding prior auth requirements and frequency for basic procedures such as MBB, RFA, ESI, etc., quick question... Is there any difference in performing these procedures in an ASC vs. HOPD facility? The reason I ask is that I currently practice in HOPD facility, but have and opportunity to move my procedures to an nearby ASC. If that would help to avoid some of the CMS LCD requirement nonsense, it would be worth it! Thoughts? Thanks,
