2007 medicare fees

[Guest guest]

OR DCs,

FYI…

-->1. Medicare Fees for

2007 ­- Remain at 2006 Levels

The Dollar Conversion factor

for 2007 was frozen at the 2006 level by Congress during its last session in

December 2006. There was a scheduled decrease in the dollar conversion factor

to $35.9848, but it was averted, due to concerned providers and a responsive

Congress, with the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006. Consequently, the

national dollar conversion factor remains at the 2006 level of $37.8975.

Because of updates to the RVUs, some fees for codes changed, such as the 98941,

which RVU went from

..96 to .95 Expanded

details are available at

Exact fees for the three CMT

codes for each Medicare geographic location is available from your CMS carrier,

or from the CMS site http://www.cms.hhs.gov/apps/pfslookup.
