The Academy has updated the audiology code table to reflect the new Medicare Physician Payment Schedule (MPFS) conversion factor, which started on March 9 as a result of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024.
The update included an additional 1.68 percent to the 2024 conversion factor that offset a portion of cuts that went into effect on January 1. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has now established the new conversion factor of $33.2875 for dates of service March 9 through December 31 and has updated its website accordingly.
