The updates reflect the 1.68% congressional increase to the MPFS conversion factor.
The increase is part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024 passed earlier this month.
The updated tables cover specific changes in reimbursement rates between 2023 and 2024 for each Current Procedural Terminology® (CPT®) code. The analysis includes spreadsheets for the 70,000 series CPT codes and the non-70,000 CPT codes billed by radiologists, interventional radiologists and/or radiation oncologists.
Questions about the MPFS final rule impacts should be directed to Katie Keysor, ACR Senior Director of Economic Policy.
