  • Professional evaluation and management (E&M; excluding E&Ms performed in a hospital setting);
  • Hospital E&M (excluding E&Ms performed in a professional setting, such as typical office visits);
  • Medicine (excluding E&Ms);
  • Surgery (procedures for which the physician would bill);
  • Pathology and laboratory (including both technical and professional components, e.g., both equipment and physician services); and
  • Radiology (including both technical and professional components).

The categories emphasize professional fees and related costs and do not reflect facility fees.

By making May 2012 the base month to which values in later periods are compared, FH Medical Price Index establishes a consistent point of reference that makes it easy to identify and compare pricing shifts.

Although FH Medical Price Index is national in scope with defined procedure categories, FAIR Health can prepare indices customized to your needs—for example, highlighting targeted geographic areas and procedure categories or itemized time periods. You can obtain them in a variety of formats, including white papers, PowerPoint presentations or stand-alone visualizations. Learn more about such FH Custom Analytics here.
