{"abstract":"This proposed notice discusses changes to work relative value units (RVUs) affecting payment for physicians' services. Section 1848(c)(2)(B)(i) of the Social Security Act requires that we review RVUs no less often than every 5 years. This is the second review of work RVUs since we implemented the physician fee schedule on January 1, 1992. These work RVUs are proposed to be effective for services furnished beginning January 1, 2002.","action":"Proposed notice.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"},{"raw_name":"Health Care Financing Administration","name":"Health Care Finance Administration","id":559,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-care-finance-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/559","parent_id":221,"slug":"health-care-finance-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2001/06/08/01-14336.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"66 FR 31028","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2001-08-07","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"To be assured of consideration, we must receive comments at the appropriate address, as provided below, no later than 5 p.m. on August 7, 2001.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["HCFA-1170-PN"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"01-14336","effective_on":null,"end_page":31084,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2001/06/08/01-14336.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/06/08/01-14336/medicare-program-five-year-review-of-work-relative-value-units-under-the-physician-fee-schedule","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/01-14336?publication_date=2001-06-08","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2001-06-08/01-14336/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":57,"page_views":{"count":900,"last_updated":"2026-08-26 06:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-06-08/pdf/01-14336.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2001-06-08","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2001/06/08/01-14336.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0938-AK56":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["0938-AK56"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":31028,"subtype":null,"title":"Medicare Program; Five-Year Review of Work Relative Value Units Under the Physician Fee Schedule","toc_doc":"Physician fee schedule; work relative value units; five-year review","toc_subject":"Medicare:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":66}
