The AAN worked closely with other medical specialty societies over the past two years as a leader in the effort to revalue E/M codes as part of the Five-Year Review process. Work RVUs increased for many E/M codes that are key to neurology. The work RVUs for a level 3 office visit, the most billed service on the Medicare fee schedule, increased by 37%. High level consult codes and office visits also saw increases in the work values. http://www.aan.com/news/?event=read&article_id=468 webmaster@aan.com (Webmaster) Tue, 20 Feb 2007 15:51:00 GMT
