   Based on the notion that doing a colonoscopy -- the most common and highest revenue procedure in gastroenterology -- in a physician's office costs his or her practice far more than doing it in a "facility" (hospital or ambulatory surgery center), CMS has slashed the fee it pays over the years for doing the procedure in a facility.

   It's not safe to do the procedure in the physician's office because of the far more extensive backup equipment and staff in facilities. About 95% of colonoscopies were performed in hospitals or ASCs.
