Data Collection and Analysis for Generating Procedure-Specific Practice Expense Estimates. Appendix IV.G10. CPEP 10: Miscellaneous Internal Medicine. Round II Profiles.

摘要

In 1992, the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) began phasing in the Medicare Fee Schedule (MFS) as mandated in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 (OBRA 1989, PL 101-239). In March 1995, HCFA awarded Abt Associates a contract to collect and analyze data for constructing resource-based practice expense relative values. The direct and service-specific overhead cost data were to be analyzed by Abt Associates and other researchers to estimate the total practice expanse of each service on the MFS. A Survey of Practice Costs was required for collecting detailed data on Aggregate costs, practice characteristics and service mix. The Survey also includes three parts: Practice characteristics, Practice costs, and Practice service-mix data. The report contains: Total cost profile, Labor profile, Supply profile, Procedure specific clinical equipment profile, Overhead clinical equipment profile.
