As you know, Congress has passed short-term Medicare Program extenders as part of the payroll tax and unemployment insurance legislation. Among other things, this law changes the scheduled 2012 negative update for claims paid under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule to a "zero percent" update for claims with dates of service January 1, 2012 through February 29, 2012. The following 2012 MPFS payment rates are reflective of the short term extenders act legislation. Please note: Although the update percentage is zero, there have been revisions to the Geographic Practice Indices in some localities as well as changes to the Medicare Fee Schedule Conversion Factor that may slightly increase or decrease the allowances from the 2011 rates.  Read more...
