Abstract:: This report assesses effects of a variety of refinements to the current Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) Medicare physician payment update process. A spreadsheet model of the SGR process was developed to examine changes in conversion factors (CFs) and program spending in response to changes in the SGR process, including changes to the SGR formula and changes in the formation and composition of target spending.
