CMS released an updated 2011 conversion factor just days before the New Year, as the last 2010 Part B News newsletter was going to press. This left us with little time and space to write much detail about how the new conversion factor, $33.9764, will impact physician payments.

The conversion factor is just one component of the Medicare payment formula. So, you shouldn't be surprised that some payments, in particular E/M codes, increased in pay despite the 2011 conversion factor dropping 7% from the 2010 rate of $36.8729.
