The AAQuotes system for the
PDA uses a calculated expression for the Medicare unit value. In the
initial release in 2002, this was set at $16.50. The March 2005 release
had it set at $16.85. Over time, this value is modified by the HIC and
you need to manually update it so that your schedule fee calculations
are correct.
