This graph shows the value required by law without the 2 month extension signed into law 12/23/2011. If that conversion factor ($24.67) goes into effect 3/1/2012, it would be a 27.39% reduction from 2011, and would be 20.4% below the 1992 rate.

Note: From 1993 to 1997, there were separate conversion factors for surgical, nonsurgical (in 1993), primary care and “other non-surgical” procedures. For those years, the conversion factor for ‘nosurgical’ or ‘other nonsurgical’ procedures is shown.
