Benchmark of the Week: Fastest-growing allowed charges, 2008

Effective Jun 22, 2009
Published Jun 22, 2009

This chart shows the top 10 CPT codes with the highest percent growth in allowed charges from 2007 to 2008. Like last week's Benchmark, all data comes from an April 2009 report by the AMA called "Estimated change in SGR spending from 2007 to 2008." The presence of codes like 97110 (therapeutic exercises, $28.13) isn't a surprise, since its utilization has been growing for years (PBN 11/24/08).
