General Question for the Week of January 1, 2024

Question:

How badly will radiology be impacted by the 2024 decreased conversion factor in the final PFS rule?

Answer:

Radiology will experience an overall three percent decrease, while interventional radiology will brace for an aggregate decrease of four percent. Nuclear medicine can expect to see a three percent decrease, with radiation oncology and radiation therapy centers preparing for a two percent decrease. The American College of Radiology (ACR) warns that “The actual impact will be a little higher as the overall impact numbers mentioned above do not take into account the impact of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) payment supplements of 2.50 percent for 2023 and 1.25 percent for 2024.”
