On November 1, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services published in the Federal Register a final rule entitled, “Revisions to Payment Policies and Five-Year Review of and Adjustments to the Relative Value Units Under the Physician Fee Schedule for Calendar Year 2002.” This final rule made significant changes affecting Medicare Part B payment to reflect changes in medical practice and the relative value of services including interim RVUs for new and revised procedure codes for calendar year (CY) 2002, and a revised physician fee schedule update for CY 2002 and a revised conversion factor for CY 2002. The Medicare Physician Payment Fairness Act of 2001, S. 1707 and HR 3351, introduced by Senator James Jeffords and Rep. Michael Bilirakis to reduce an across the board cut of 5.4% in Medicare payments to physicians and set the conversion factor (update) for payments under the Medicare physician fee schedule for 2002 at 0.9 percent less than the conversion factor for 2001. The bills also direct the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) to study and report to Congress on replacing the use of the sustainable growth rate as a factor in determining the update for such payments with a factor that more fully accounts for changes in the unit costs of providing physicians' services.
