How is Medicare Part B Fees calculated?

CMS updated it's fee schedule recently for the reimbursement rates it pay for Part B procedures.  The Factsheet that they put together is very informative.  It describes how CMS determines the reimbursement rate for a claim, in case you ever wanted to know!

Rates are frequently adjusted, usually annually.  With recent regulation, reimbursement rates had gone down which has Providers and Health Insurance Plans concerned.  The update this month increased the reimbursement by 2.2%.
