Work, practice, expense and liability relative value units (RVUs) are updated annually through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Medicare Physician Fee Schedule rulemaking. In response to the recently released 2024 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule, the ACC has developed a new Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule Calculator to allow clinicians and practice managers to estimate the potential impact of changes to practices. Of note, many services see impacts due to the reduced conversion factor adjustment required by law to offset increases in other areas or other formulaic changes, such as the addition of new code G2211 to capture additional visit complexity for primary care and longitudinal care.

The College is working to develop written comments and engage policymakers on the proposed rule. Look for an updated calculator when the final rule is posted this fall.

In addition, for those curious about the regulatory process and timeline, the ACC Advocacy team has developed a roadmap that provides a step-by-step look at ACC’s process for reviewing and addressing new values in the proposed Physician Fee Schedule and garnering support through internal channels to develop a formal policy position.
