This system is laid out in sections that should make it easy to find what you are looking for, especially if you are familiar with coding practices. Additionally, there are 3 search feature options built into the system. They appear on every web page of the Resource Center. One search feature allows you to search the entire Table of Contents of tab you happen to be interested in; another allows you to search the entire APMA Coding Resource Center site including all its references for keywords or codes; and finally, the last search is "Find on Page"" which searches the current web page for keywords or codes.

Go to the "References/Library" tab on the APMA Coding Resource Center, and click on "References". Choose "C" for "Conversion Factor" and click on it. You will see "Conversion Factor (2017 – Notes for the Select Year). When you 'accept' CMS's Disclaim, the search page for the Physician Fee Schedule will appear. In the right, under the "Search Criteria" banner, you will see Notes for the Select Year" along with the current 2017 conversion factor.

You can search for any local Medicare fees on that page.
