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 PFS amounts are built from three Relative Value Units (RVUs) — physician work, practice expense, and malpractice — assigned to each code. Each RVU component is adjusted by Geographic Practice Cost Indices (GPCIs) specific to the locality where the service is furnished, to account for regional cost differences. The adjusted RVUs are summed and multiplied by the annual national conversion factor to produce the allowed amount. Non-facility (e.g., office) and facility (e.g., hospital) settings use different practice-expense RVUs, which is why the two allowed amounts differ.

RVUs — work 3.66, practice expense 9.22 (non-facility) / 3.68 (facility), malpractice 0.7 — × 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 Part B deductible is met; the patient or secondary insurer is responsible for the remainder.
  • Actual payment can vary by locality GPCIs, modifiers, place of service, sequestration, and annual budget-neutrality adjustments.
  • Always verify current rates and coverage rules with your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC).

Frequently asked

Why is the facility amount lower than the non-facility amount?

Facility rates use lower practice-expense RVUs because Medicare assumes the facility (e.g., hospital) — not the billing physician's office — absorbs overhead costs like equipment, supplies, and staff for that setting.

Does this amount apply everywhere in the country?

No. The national figure is a baseline; actual payment is adjusted using locality-specific GPICs for work, practice expense, and malpractice, so amounts vary by geographic area.

What will Medicare actually pay for this code?

Generally 80% of the allowed amount after the annual Part B deductible, assuming no modifiers, sequestration, or other adjustments apply.

Can I use this figure for claims submission or appeals?

No — this is an informational estimate. Confirm the exact allowed amount and payment rules with your MAC before billing or appealing a denial.
