The Geographic Practice Cost Index (GPCI)
Medicare is statutorily required to adjust payments for physician fee schedule services to account for differences in costs due to geographic location. There are currently 89 different localities which have not been revised since 1997. Medicare has been looking into revising GPCI system for several years, but has not finalized any proposals. CMS contracted a consulting firm to study alternative GPCI systems and released a interim study.
