2013 medicare fee schedule
« on: December 27, 2012, 07:20:04 PM »
A bit confused.....medicare fee schedule for psychological testing for 2013 is listed as $57.23.  How are they calculating what the patients % is going to be?

Sorry, but I don't understand what you are asking.  You are saying that the allowed amount is $57.23 so are you wondering if they patient will be responsible for 20% after deductible or if there will be a psychiatric reduction?

Remember that each year the psychiatric reduction is phasing down Coinsurance amount timeline is as follows: 45% in 2011, 40% in 2012, 35% in 2013, and finally in 2014 it’ll be 20%.
