While this document compares the current Medicare 2013 relative value units (RVUs) to the proposed 2014 RVUs, it will not reflect actual changes in payment. For 2014, Medicare is proposing a broad policy change that would increase the conversion factor through an across-the-board reduction in practice expense (PE) values, as can be observed in this document. A second proposed policy change would further reduce the PE values for certain codes, including EEG and motor evoked potential studies. The AAN is reviewing the implications of each of the proposed policy changes and will submit comments to CMS in the best interest of neurologists.
