Maximum units per day (MUE)

Medicare’s Medically Unlikely Edit caps this code at 3 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 allowed amount is built from three Relative Value Units (RVUs) assigned to a code: physician work, practice expense, and malpractice risk. Each RVU component is adjusted using the Geographic Practice Cost Indices (GPCIs) for the specific locality where the service is performed, reflecting regional cost differences. The adjusted RVUs are summed and multiplied by the annual Medicare conversion factor to produce a dollar amount. Non-facility and facility amounts differ primarily because the practice-expense RVU is lower in facility settings, where the facility itself bears more of the overhead and equipment cost.

RVUs — work 5.42, practice expense 12.8 (non-facility) / 1.76 (facility), malpractice 0.53 — × the locality GPCIs × the 2026 conversion factor of $33.40.

Good to know

  • This is an estimate only — actual Medicare payment can vary.
  • Medicare typically pays 80% of the allowed amount after the annual Part B deductible is met; the patient or secondary insurer may owe the rest.
  • Modifiers, multiple-procedure reductions, bilateral billing, and other claim-specific factors can change the final payment.
  • National Medicare sequestration cuts and annual budget-neutrality adjustments can affect the final paid amount.
  • Locality-specific GPCIs mean the same code can price differently across regions — always confirm with your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) for the applicable locality.

Frequently asked

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

The practice-expense RVU is lower in the facility setting because the facility (not the billing physician) absorbs a larger share of overhead, supplies, and equipment costs for the service.

Does this amount reflect what Medicare actually pays?

It reflects the Medicare PFS allowed amount estimate. Medicare generally reimburses 80% of the allowed amount after the patient's deductible is met, and the final paid amount can be affected by sequestration and other adjustments.

Why might the amount I see on a remittance differ from this estimate?

Actual payment can differ due to the specific locality GPCIs applied, modifiers reported, multiple-procedure payment reductions, and yearly PFS updates, including budget-neutrality adjustments.

Where can I verify the exact rate for my locality?

Check the current year's Medicare Physician Fee Schedule lookup tool or contact your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) for the locality-specific rate.
