Question: I have the "2007 National
Physician fee schedule Relative Value File" loaded on my computer desktop and have not been able to remember the link that I used to get to it. Is the 2008 version available?

Answer: No. The final 2008
Medicare fee schedule usually does not come out until November and sometimes not until early December. Once CMS publishes the final rule in the Federal Register, the file will be available on the CMS Web site for downloading. Check back with Urology Coding Alert for the URL as well.
