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 pricing starts with three Relative Value Units (RVUs) assigned to the code: physician work, practice expense, and malpractice. Each RVU component is adjusted by the Geographic Practice Cost Index (GPCI) for the specific locality where the service is performed, reflecting local cost differences. The locality-adjusted RVUs are summed and then multiplied by the annual Medicare conversion factor to produce the allowed amount. Practice-expense RVUs — and therefore the final amount — can differ between non-facility (e.g., physician office) and facility (e.g., hospital) settings; for this code those practice-expense RVUs are the same in both settings, so the non-facility and facility amounts shown are equal.

RVUs — work 5.65, practice expense 8.2 (non-facility) / 8.2 (facility), malpractice 0.83 — × 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 Part B deductible; the beneficiary or secondary payer is responsible for the remainder.
  • Actual payment can vary by locality, applicable modifiers, multiple-procedure or bilateral adjustments, sequestration, and annual budget-neutrality adjustments to RVUs or the conversion factor.
  • Always confirm the current fee with your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) before billing or appealing a denial.

Frequently asked

Why does the amount differ by locality?

Each locality has its own Geographic Practice Cost Index (GPCI) values for work, practice expense, and malpractice, which adjust the national RVUs to reflect local cost-of-living and practice-cost differences before the conversion factor is applied.

Why are the facility and non-facility amounts the same for this code?

The payment difference between settings comes from the practice-expense RVU. When the practice-expense RVU is identical in both facility and non-facility settings, as it is here, the resulting allowed amounts are also the same.

Does this amount reflect what the practice will actually collect?

No. This is the Medicare-allowed amount before the standard 80/20 split, deductible status, modifiers, and any sequestration or secondary payer adjustments are applied.

Can this amount change during the year?

Yes. CMS can issue mid-year corrections, and RVUs or the conversion factor are subject to annual rulemaking, so amounts can change from one calendar year to the next.
