Yorkville Endoscopy lost certification from the federal agency that determines eligibility for Medicare reimbursements this week. It also lost accreditation from a non-profit group used by private insurers to determine whether procedures can be covered.

Still, the clinic told ABC News Wednesday that it plans to remain viable. “Yorkville Endoscopy LLC does not intend to cease operations,” the clinic said in a statement. “Yorkville is hoping to cooperate with regulators to have the recent decision reversed or modified.”
