	Letter to Scully, Thomas A.: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In administering the physician fee schedule, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) includes "physicians' services" into its calculations of the SGR and its update adjustment factor.
		Moreover, since CMS has excluded drugs from "physicians' services" in its administration of other section 1848 provisions, we believe that removing drugs from the calculation of "physicians' services" in determining the SGR would be a consistent, plain reading of the statute.
		Between the 1996 SGR baseline and 2002, Medicare drug spending rose from $1.8 billion to $6.2 billion-or from $55 per beneficiary to an estimated $187 per beneficiary.
