Physician Fee Schedule to
be Published Dec. 1
November 22, 2002-The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) announced this week that it expects to publish
the final regulation on the 2003 Physician Fee Schedule on
or about December 1. The 2003 Rule will include a minus 4.4
percent change to the Conversion Factor. The 2003 fee schedule
will become effective on Feb. 1, 2003, and the 2002 fee schedule
will remain in effect during January 2003. CMS expects to
send communications to physicians in mid-December, and will
likely extend the provider enrollment period to the end of
January.
