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 payment is built from three Relative Value Units (RVUs) — work, practice expense, and malpractice — that reflect physician effort, overhead costs, and liability risk for the service. Each RVU component is adjusted by Geographic Practice Cost Indices (GPCIs) specific to the locality where the service is furnished, since costs vary by region. The adjusted RVUs are summed and multiplied by the annual conversion factor (a dollar-per-RVU rate set by CMS) to produce the allowed amount. Non-facility rates generally apply when the service is performed in a physician's office, while facility rates apply in hospitals or other facility settings where practice-expense RVUs are lower because the facility bears some overhead costs.

RVUs — work 7.3, practice expense 10.72 (non-facility) / 5.37 (facility), malpractice 0.91 — × 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 patient meets the annual deductible; the patient or secondary insurance is responsible for the remainder.
Modifiers, sequestration, multiple-procedure reductions, and annual budget-neutrality adjustments can change the actual paid amount.
Rates vary by locality due to GPCI adjustments; the national figure is a reference, not a locality-specific payment.
Always verify current rates and coverage rules with your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) before billing or appealing a claim.

Frequently asked

Why does the facility rate differ from the non-facility rate for this code?

Facility rates generally use lower practice-expense RVUs because the facility (e.g., hospital) — not the physician's practice — absorbs costs like equipment, supplies, and staff for the procedure.

Does this amount represent what Medicare actually pays?

No. The PFS amount shown is the allowed amount before the standard 20% coinsurance and any deductible, sequestration, or locality adjustments are applied.

Why might my locality's rate differ from the national figure?

CMS applies Geographic Practice Cost Indices (GPCIs) to adjust for regional differences in labor, rent, and malpractice costs, so the same code can be priced differently by locality.
