| 01-18951 | Medicare Program; Revisions to Payment Policies Under the Physician Fee Schedule for Calendar Year 2002 | Proposed Rule | This proposed rule would refine the resource-based practice expense relative value units and make several changes to Medicare Part B payment. The policy changes concern services and supplies incident to a physician's professional service; anesthesia base unit variations; recognition of CPT tracking codes; and nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and clinical nurse specialists performing screening sigmoidoscopies. We are proposing these refinements and changes to ensure that our payment systems are updated to reflect changes in medical practice and the relative value of services. We are soliciting comments on the proposed policy changes as well as comments on the payment policy for CPT modifier 62 that is used to report the work of co-surgeons. The Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 modernizes the mammography screening benefit and authorizes payment under the physician fee schedule effective January 1, 2002; provides for biennial screening pelvic examinations for certain beneficiaries effective July 1, 2001; provides for annual glaucoma screenings for high-risk beneficiaries effective January 1, 2002; expands coverage for screening colonoscopies to all beneficiaries effective July 1, 2001; establishes coverage for medical nutrition therapy services for certain beneficiaries effective January 1, 2002; expands payment for telehealth services effective October 1, 2001; requires certain Indian Health Service providers to be paid for some services under the physician fee schedule effective July 1, 2001; and revises the payment for certain physician pathology services effective January 1, 2001. This proposed rule would conform our regulations to reflect the statutory provisions. | 2001-08-02 | 2001 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/08/02/01-18951/medicare-program-revisions-to-payment-policies-under-the-physician-fee-schedule-for-calendar-year | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-08-02/pdf/01-18951.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services | 221,45 | This proposed rule would refine the resource-based practice expense relative value units and make several changes to Medicare Part B payment.
