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) assigned to a code: physician work, practice expense, and malpractice. Each RVU component is adjusted using Geographic Practice Cost Indices (GPCIs) specific to the provider's locality, reflecting regional cost differences. The adjusted RVUs are summed and multiplied by the annual conversion factor (a national dollar-per-RVU rate set by CMS) to produce the allowed amount. Non-facility and facility settings use different practice-expense RVUs — non-facility is generally higher because it assumes the provider bears more overhead (e.g., office-based costs), while facility rates assume the overhead is borne by a hospital or ASC.

RVUs — work 4.12, practice expense 8.74 (non-facility) / 6.35 (facility), malpractice 0.88 — × 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's deductible is met; the patient or secondary payer is responsible for the remainder.
  • Actual payment can vary based on locality-specific GPCIs, applicable modifiers, sequestration reductions, and annual budget-neutrality adjustments.
  • Always verify current rates and coverage rules with your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) before billing.

Frequently asked

Why does the amount differ between non-facility and facility settings?

The practice-expense RVU component differs depending on whether the service is performed in a facility (e.g., hospital) or non-facility (e.g., physician office) setting, since overhead costs are allocated differently.

Why might my local Medicare payment differ from the national amount shown here?

Local Geographic Practice Cost Indices (GPCIs) adjust the RVUs to reflect regional cost-of-living and practice cost differences, so the final allowed amount varies by locality.

Does this amount reflect what the patient or secondary insurer will pay?

No — this figure is the total Medicare-allowed amount. Medicare generally pays 80% after the deductible, with the remaining 20% and any unmet deductible being the patient's or secondary payer's responsibility.

Can modifiers change this amount?

Yes. Modifiers (e.g., bilateral procedure, reduced services, assistant surgeon) can increase or decrease the final payment relative to the base PFS amount shown here.
