--- 1995 and later
(click here for HCFA billing methods 1 thru
4)
Nationwide, each January 1st, fee screen IICs for each HCPCS code are increased by the previous year CPI-U (Consumer Price Index - Urban), and this ranges from 1-3 percent unless there is either a freeze or some other congressional reduction. What this means to you is that each year your Medicare allowed amount for each charge (A0330 base rate, A0390 mileage, e.g.) you bill will be increased by the IIC percent increase. Your Medicare allowed amounts will be the lesser of your IICs or what you actually bill. For the fee screen years below, the percent increases are listed.
