Ect

Does any one know of ECT being performed solely in an Ambulatory Surgery Center? CMS has not placed ECT (CPT code 90870) on the list of approved procedures in an ASC, and they aren't making it a priority even with APA and ISEN-ECT requests to add it. This means medicare/medicaid are unlikely to be performed in an ASC for near future. So have any of you heard of colleagues, or are active yourself, in performing privately insured ECT in an ASC? Further more, please educate me on how... ECT
