Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew the exact publication or compliance guideline set forth by CMS that talks of the general assumption that the anesthesia care team should only need 7 minutes for PACU turnover after a procedure.

I already put in a request with CMS but then received the follow-up email of "We cannot guarantee the response to your question" .... so .... there's that.

Thanks in advance for any help you or guidance you can provide!

Jenna
