Maximum units per day (MUE)

Medicare’s Medically Unlikely Edit caps this code at 1 unit per patient per day — Date of Service Edit: Policy. Units above the MUE are denied; some MUEs can be exceeded only with appropriate documentation and modifiers where policy allows.

How the amount is calculated

Medicare's PFS amount is built from three Relative Value Units (RVUs): physician work, practice expense (PE), and malpractice (MP). Each RVU component is adjusted by locality-specific Geographic Practice Cost Indices (GPCIs) to reflect regional cost differences, then the adjusted RVUs are summed and multiplied by the annual conversion factor to produce a dollar amount. Non-facility and facility rates differ primarily in the practice-expense RVU, since facility settings (like hospitals) assume the facility bears some overhead costs that a physician's office would otherwise absorb. For this code, the non-facility and facility PE RVUs are the same, so the resulting national amounts are equal in both settings — though locality-adjusted amounts may still vary based on GPCI factors alone.

RVUs — work 12.77, practice expense 3.09 (non-facility) / 3.09 (facility), malpractice 2.82 — × the locality GPCIs × the 2026 conversion factor of $33.40.

Good to know

  • This is an estimate only, not a guarantee of payment.
  • Medicare typically pays 80% of the allowed amount after the annual Part B deductible is met; the patient or secondary payer is responsible for the remainder.
  • Actual payment can vary by locality, applicable modifiers, sequestration reductions, and annual budget-neutrality adjustments to RVUs or the conversion factor.
  • Always verify current rates and coverage rules with your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) before billing.

Frequently asked

Why does this code show the same amount for non-facility and facility settings?

The practice-expense RVU — the component that typically differs between settings — is identical here, so both calculations produce the same national amount. Locality-adjusted amounts could still differ slightly due to GPCI weighting.

Why can't you show the CPT descriptor for this code?

CPT code descriptions are copyrighted and licensed by the American Medical Association. This page refers to the code generically and does not reproduce the official descriptor.

Will my locality's payment amount be different from the national figure shown?

Likely yes. The national amount uses a GPCI value of 1.00 for illustration; actual payments in your locality apply that area's specific GPCI adjustments to the RVUs before applying the conversion factor.

Does this amount reflect what Medicare will actually pay?

No — it reflects the estimated Medicare-allowed amount before beneficiary cost-sharing. Medicare generally reimburses 80% of this amount after the deductible, with adjustments for sequestration or other factors.
