2010 Medicare Conversion Factors

The 2010 Medicare conversion factors were released January 4, 2010, for dates of service January 1 – February 28, 2010. They increased by pennies and reflect the Congressional hold on the scheduled 21.2% reduction. Below is a comparison of 2010 CFs with 2009 CFs. Congress must act again to avert the 21.2% decrease now scheduled for March 1.
