CMT Fees in 2019
Posted on November 26, 2018 at 09:08:47 pm
There were some very minor reductions to the RVUs for CMT codes 90840-90843. The practice expense (PE) RVUs for codes 98940, 98942, and 98943 were reduced by .01. So using the final 2019 PFS conversion factor of $36.04, which is slightly higher than the 2018 PFS conversion factor of $35.99, the national, unadjusted Medicare allowed fees for 2019 will be:

Other payers who use the same RVUs could also have minor fee reductions for 2019. Now is the time to prepare for the upcoming year. Be sure you:
- Contact your contracted payers to find out what their allowed amounts will be. Evaluate your contracts.
