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 amount is built from three Relative Value Units (RVUs) — physician work, practice expense, and malpractice — assigned to the code. Each RVU component is adjusted by Geographic Practice Cost Indices (GPCIs) specific to the locality where the service is furnished, to reflect local cost differences. The adjusted RVUs are summed and multiplied by the annual Medicare conversion factor to produce the allowed amount. Non-facility (e.g., office) and facility (e.g., hospital) settings can have different practice-expense RVUs, which is why the two amounts may differ; for this code, the practice-expense RVU is the same in both settings, so the resulting national amounts shown are equal.

RVUs — work 7.01, practice expense 5.98 (non-facility) / 5.98 (facility), malpractice 1.04 — × the locality GPCIs × the 2026 conversion factor of $33.40.

Good to know

  • This is an estimate only, based on published national RVUs and conversion factor; it is not a guarantee of payment.
  • Medicare typically pays 80% of the approved amount after the patient meets the Part B deductible; the beneficiary or secondary payer is responsible for the remainder.
  • Actual payment can vary by locality, applicable modifiers, site-of-service differentials, sequestration, and mid-year or annual budget-neutrality adjustments.
  • Always confirm the final allowed amount and any applicable edits with your local Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC).

Frequently asked

Why is the facility amount the same as the non-facility amount for this code?

The practice-expense RVU used in the calculation is identical for both settings for this code, so the resulting national PFS amounts come out the same. Other codes may show a difference when facility and non-facility practice-expense RVUs diverge.

Why might my locality's amount differ from the national figure shown here?

Medicare applies Geographic Practice Cost Indices (GPCIs) to the work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs to account for regional cost variation, so the locality-adjusted amount can be higher or lower than the national average.

Does this amount include the patient's share?

No. The figure represents the total Medicare-approved amount before the standard 80/20 split; after the deductible is met, Medicare generally pays 80% and the remaining 20% is the patient's or secondary payer's responsibility.

Will this amount stay the same all year?

Not necessarily. Mid-year corrections, sequestration, and annual conversion factor or RVU updates (typically effective January 1) can change the allowed amount from what is shown here.
