WASHINGTON – The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has posted corrections to the 2010 Physician Fee Schedule, which includes a change in the Medicare anesthesia conversion factor effective January 1, 2010.

The national unadjusted Medicare anesthesia conversion factor for services provided from Jan. 1 – Feb. 28, 2010 would be $21.114.

The corrections incorporate the CY 2010 anesthesia practice expense revisions.

After Feb. 28, CMS is expected to implement a 21 percent Medicare payment cut across all medical practices, unless Congress makes a move to change the Sustainable Growth Rate formula (SGR).

Without action, the 2010 unadjusted Medicare anesthesia conversion factor will fall to $16.6109.
