Abbott 2024 CMS Physician Fee Schedule
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) made significant changes to calendar year 2024 (CY2024) policies and payment levels which impact a number of procedures utilizing Abbott’s technology and therapy solutions in the Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) settings of care and Physician payments. These changes are compounded by the advance of both new and ongoing payment reform initiatives impacting a majority of U.S. health care facilities.
On November 2, 2023, CMS released the CY 2024 PFS Final Rule Correction Notice effective for services on January 1, 2024. We have provided the following tables for various technologies and procedures. This is intended for illustrative purposes only and is not a guarantee of reimbursement levels or coverage.

CPT‡ code 34713 is applicable only for aortic and iliac artery repair
procedures using an endograft. This code cannot be used with other types of
procedures such lower limb endovascular and TAVR procedures. This code is tied
to physician payment only and will not result in any change to hospital
payment. The code can be listed twice for bilateral procedures. This will
result in a total payment of 150% of base payment rate (National Average
Payment is $177).
