Fed Regist. 1995 Dec 8;60(236):63124-357.
This final rule revises various policies affecting payment for physician services including Medicare payment for physician services in teaching settings, the relative value units (RVUs) for certain existing procedure codes, and establishes interim RVUs for new and revised procedure codes. The rule also includes the final revised 1996 geographic practice cost indices. The rule redesignates current regulations on teaching hospitals, on the services of physicians to providers, on the services of physicians in providers, and on the services of interns and residents. This redesignation consolidates related rules affecting a specific audience in a separate part and, thereby, makes them easier to use.
本最终规则修订了多项影响医师服务支付的政策，包括教学机构中医师服务的医疗保险支付、某些现有程序代码的相对价值单位（RVUs），并为新的和修订的程序代码制定了临时RVUs。该规则还包括最终修订的1996年地理实践成本指数。该规则重新指定了关于教学医院、医师对医疗服务提供者的服务、医疗服务提供者中医师的服务以及实习生和住院医师服务的现行法规。这种重新指定将影响特定受众的相关规则合并到一个单独的部分，从而使其更易于使用。
