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 Physician Fee Schedule amount is built from three Relative Value Units (RVUs) — physician work, practice expense, and malpractice — assigned to each code. Each RVU component is adjusted by a locality-specific Geographic Practice Cost Index (GPCI) to reflect regional cost differences, then the adjusted RVUs are summed and multiplied by the annual national conversion factor to produce a dollar amount. Practice-expense RVUs often differ between non-facility (e.g., physician office) and facility (e.g., hospital) settings, which can cause the allowed amount to vary by place of service. For this code, the non-facility and facility PE RVUs shown are equal, so the resulting national amounts match in this case.

RVUs — work 24.7, practice expense 19.05 (non-facility) / 19.05 (facility), malpractice 10.44 — × the locality GPCIs × the 2026 conversion factor of $33.40.

Good to know

  • This is an estimate only, based on the national conversion factor and standard RVUs; actual payment depends on your specific Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) and locality GPCIs.
  • Medicare typically pays 80% of the allowed amount after the patient meets their deductible; the beneficiary or secondary payer is responsible for the remainder.
  • Modifiers, multiple-procedure reductions, sequestration, and annual budget-neutrality adjustments can all change the final paid amount.
  • Always verify current rates and coverage rules with your MAC before billing or appealing a claim.

Frequently asked

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

The national figure uses a GPCI value of 1.0 for all cost categories, while actual payments apply your locality's specific GPCI adjustments for work, practice expense, and malpractice, which can raise or lower the amount.

Does this amount reflect what Medicare will actually pay?

No. Medicare generally reimburses 80% of the allowed amount after the deductible is met, and the billed or allowed amount can be further adjusted by modifiers or claim-specific factors.

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

Because the practice-expense RVUs provided for facility and non-facility settings are identical for this code, the calculated national amounts are the same; this is not true for all codes.

What causes the conversion factor to change each year?

CMS updates the conversion factor annually based on statutory formulas, budget-neutrality adjustments, and any legislative changes, which can increase or decrease all PFS payments nationwide.
