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 payment for this code is based on three Relative Value Units (RVUs) — physician work, practice expense, and malpractice — each adjusted by the Geographic Practice Cost Indices (GPCIs) for a given locality to reflect local cost differences. The adjusted RVUs are summed and multiplied by the annual Medicare conversion factor to produce the allowed amount. Practice expense RVUs differ between non-facility and facility settings because facility settings (like hospitals) typically have the facility itself absorb a portion of the overhead costs, resulting in a lower PFS amount for the same code. These calculations update annually and are subject to any applicable modifiers.

RVUs — work 5.18, practice expense 12.69 (non-facility) / 6.36 (facility), malpractice 1.21 — × 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 deductible is met; the beneficiary or secondary insurer is responsible for the remainder.
  • Actual payment can vary by locality, modifiers appended to the claim, mandatory sequestration reductions, and annual budget-neutrality adjustments.
  • Always verify current rates and coverage policy with your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC).

Frequently asked

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

The facility rate uses lower practice expense RVUs because the facility (such as a hospital) bears a portion of the overhead costs, whereas in a non-facility setting the billing provider absorbs those costs directly.

Does this amount reflect what Medicare will actually pay?

No. It is a PFS-based estimate. Medicare generally pays 80% of the allowed amount after the deductible, and the final payment can be affected by modifiers, place of service, sequestration, and locality-specific adjustments.

Why do GPCIs matter for this code?

GPCIs adjust the work, practice expense, and malpractice RVUs to reflect the relative cost of providing services in a specific geographic locality, so the same code can have different allowed amounts in different areas.

Can I use this estimate for billing or appeals?

This figure is for reference and planning purposes only. For billing accuracy, claims submission, or denial appeals, consult your MAC's current fee schedule and official guidance.
