Updated Medicare Conversion Factors Announced

The revised Medicare Conversion Factors (CF) have been posted.  These new figures reflect the impact of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 and override the figures that were listed in the CY 2021 Final Rule.

The Medicare Anesthesia CF will be $21.5600 instead of $ 20.0547 as previously announced.  The locale specific CFs are available HERE. The RBRVS CF will be $34.89 instead of $32.4085

ASA anticipates that the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MAC) will update their files and post information on their websites about when they will be ready to process claims with these new CFs.
