Part B News subscribers can download a special supplement to our proposed 2011 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule coverage in the latest edition of the newsletter. We've compiled seven charts impacting physician reimbursements into one document. The charts are:
- CPT codes subject to 90% equipment utilization rate assumption that will be subject to 75% assumption in 2011;
- Codes proposed to be added to the 75% equipment utilization rate assumption list;
- Separately payable "Always Therapy" Services subject to the proposed MPPR policy;
- Proposed Cost Share Weights for GPCI update;
- Primary care services eligible for primary care incentive payments in 2011;
- Total allowed charge estimated impact for RVU, MPPR, and MEI rebasing changes; and,
- Impact of proposed rule and estimated physician update on payment for selected codes.
The document is labeled "2011_Proposed_MPFS_charts.pdf" in the Hot Documents section of the PBN Library. You can also download a full copy of the proposed fee schedule, in PDF format.
