2006 Medicare Participation
Enrollment CD-ROM Will Not Contain the 2006 Payment Rates
CMS has decided not to place the 2006 fees on the CD-ROM this year in order
to have greater flexibility for making any last minute changes to the 2006
payment rates. Placing the fees on the carrier Web site assures that providers
will have the most current and correct fees available. Medicare Services will
publish the 2006 payment rates to each state's web site once the 2006 physician
fee schedule regulation is put on display.
