Physician Fee Schedule |
An updated physician’s fee schedule and key have been posted to the department’s Web site at <http://www.hfs.illinois.gov/feeschedule/>. The pricing associated with two of the most commonly billed modifiers (TC and 26) has been added to the fee schedule. The other modifiers required for processing of the claim and determination of the appropriate reimbursement rate will be added to the next fee schedule update. To keep information current, the fee schedule will be updated on a quarterly basis and placed on the department’s Web site by the second month of each quarter. The fee schedule is available in two formats, a printable report or a text-delimited file.
