  • Title: Medicare program; revisions to payment policies and adjustments to the relative value units under the physician fee schedule for calendar year 1996--HCFA. Final rule with comment period.
    Journal: Fed Regist; 1995 Dec 08; 60(236):63124-357. PubMed ID: 10152871.
    Abstract:
    This final rule revises various policies affecting payment for physician services including Medicare payment for physician services in teaching settings, the relative value units (RVUs) for certain existing procedure codes, and establishes interim RVUs for new and revised procedure codes. The rule also includes the final revised 1996 geographic practice cost indices. The rule redesignates current regulations on teaching hospitals, on the services of physicians to providers, on the services of physicians in providers, and on the services of interns and residents. This redesignation consolidates related rules affecting a specific audience in a separate part and, thereby, makes them easier to use.
