- Title
SGR--Is it Time to Create a Crisis?
- Authors
Schlossberg, Steven
- Abstract
The article discusses the effects of the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula on December 31, 2011 when the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will cut the conversion factor by 29.5% as required by U.S. law. The SGR drives the conversion factor calculation or how much each relative value unit (RVU) is valued. CMS decides the total RVU defined by practice expense and doctors' work, for each service after advice from the American Medical Association Relative Value Update Committee.
