2008 impact on total allowed Medicare charges by specialty

Article Overview

This page presents a CMS table showing estimated 2008 changes in allowed Medicare charges by specialty and select provider categories. It is useful for coders, billers, practice managers, and specialty groups who want a high-level view of proposed payment impacts, including the general categories of RVU-related changes, DRA effects, and total update figures. The content is a data table rather than a narrative article, so the main value is comparing specialties and provider types by projected payment change.
