Physician, Outpatient Hospital Fee Schedules to be Updated October 1

Tufts Health Plan reviews its commercial physician and outpatient hospital fee schedules quarterly to ensure that they are current, comprehensive and consistent with industry standards to the extent supported by our systems.  In most cases these changes involve adding fees for new or existing codes to supplement the fees already on the fee schedule.

The next update will occur on October 1, 2010. Changes may involve both new and existing CPT and HCPCS codes and will include the planned quarterly update to physician immune globulin, vaccine and toxoid fees.

Detailed information about changes to existing fee schedules and nonreimbursable logic is available to provider organization and hospital leadership as well as to independent physicians by calling Tufts Health Plan's Network Contracting Department at 1-888-880-8699, ext. 2169.
