Medicare program; annual update to reasonable compensation equivalent limits for services furnished by physicians to...

This notice sets forth updated reimbursement limits on the amount of compensation allowable for services that are not covered by the prospective payment system and are furnished by physicians to providers. Therefore, these services are reimbursed by Medicare on a reasonable cost basis. These revised reasonable compensation equivalent limits are based on updated economic index data and are applicable to cost reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 1984. These limits replace the limits that were published in the Federal Register on March 2, 1983 (48 FR 8902).
