Nov. 2, 2023

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released its 2024 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) Final Rule Nov. 2. The American College of Radiology® (ACR®) has prepared a radiology-specific preliminary summary of the rule, which indicates 32.74 PFS conversion factor in 2024, a $1.14 decrease from the 2023 conversion factor of $33.89.

CMS in its press release says the final rule will expand behavioral health services, advance President Biden’s Cancer Moonshot, and accelerate value-based care. The agency also created a 2024 MPFS fact sheet and a Medicare Shared Savings Program fact sheet.

The College continues to review the proposed rule and will provide a detailed summary in the coming days. If you have questions, contact Angela Kim, ACR Senior Director, Economics and Health Policy.
