Maximum units per day (MUE)

Medicare’s Medically Unlikely Edit caps this code at 7 units per patient per day — Date of Service Edit: Clinical. 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 Geographic Practice Cost Indices (GPCIs) specific to the provider's locality, then the adjusted RVUs are summed and multiplied by the annual conversion factor to produce a dollar amount. The non-facility PE RVU applies when the service is furnished in a physician's office, while the facility PE RVU (typically lower) applies when furnished in a hospital or other facility setting, since Medicare assumes the facility bears more of the overhead cost. This is why the same code often has two different allowed amounts depending on place of service.

RVUs — work 2.14, practice expense 2.62 (non-facility) / 0.65 (facility), malpractice 0.27 — × 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-specific GPCIs, applicable modifiers, sequestration reductions, and annual budget-neutrality adjustments.
  • Always confirm the current allowed amount and coverage criteria with your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) before billing.

Frequently asked

Why does the facility amount differ from the non-facility amount?

The facility amount uses a lower practice-expense RVU because Medicare assumes the hospital or facility — not the physician's practice — absorbs most overhead costs (equipment, staff, supplies) when the service is performed there.

Does this amount reflect what my practice will actually be paid?

No. The figure shown is the national or locality-adjusted PFS allowed amount before the 80/20 split, deductible status, modifiers, and any sequestration or contractual adjustments are applied.

Why isn't the CPT code description shown on this page?

CPT codes and their descriptors are copyrighted and licensed by the American Medical Association (AMA), so this page cannot reproduce the official descriptor text.

How often do these amounts change?

The conversion factor, RVUs, and GPCIs are updated annually (and sometimes mid-year) through CMS rulemaking, so amounts can change from year to year.
