There are some otherconstants (factors) that are based on your geographicarea (Geographic Cost Index, I believe) and so on. Those numbers can be found when you go to the Medicarewebsite and find the link where they discuss thephysician's fee schedule lookup function. Other 3rdparty payors generally use these same ratios to factorin to the calculation to generate your maximumallowable rate for each insurance company. To help mefigure these out, I acutally created an Excelspreadsheet with these calculations which helps memake adjustments as they go along which makes it awhole lot easier. I'll be glad to send over anattachment of the base spreadsheet so that you see howthat calculation is made.
