RUC Survey of Physician Work – Please Participate If Selected

Tuesday, July 14, 2015  

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has requested the revision of 8 CPT codes for reporting interlaminar epidural injections. If you have been randomly selected from the International Spine Intervention Society’s membership database to participate in a Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC) survey of physician work for these codes, we ask that you please complete the survey. This survey will help our society, in concert with the RUC, to recommend accurate relative values for physician work to CMS during this revision process. Your input is vital to obtain estimates of the time and complexity required in performing these procedures and we appreciate your time and effort.

If you are inappropriately contacted regarding this survey, please notify our staff immediately. For any questions please contact reimbursement@spinalinjection.org.
