Maximum units per day (MUE)

Medicare’s Medically Unlikely Edit caps this code at 4 units per patient per day — Date of Service Edit: Clinical. 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 — each adjusted by Geographic Practice Cost Indices (GPCIs) specific to the locality where the service is performed. The GPCI-adjusted RVUs are summed and multiplied by the annual Conversion Factor (CF) set by CMS to produce the allowed amount. Non-facility rates apply when the service is performed in a setting like a physician's office, while facility rates apply in hospitals or ambulatory surgical centers, typically reflecting a lower practice-expense RVU for the physician since the facility bears some overhead. Because GPCIs vary by locality and the CF changes yearly, the same code can have different allowed amounts across regions and years.

RVUs — work 7.22, practice expense 6.82 (non-facility) / 6.82 (facility), malpractice 1.56 — × 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 their deductible; the patient or secondary insurer is responsible for the remainder.
  • Modifiers, multiple-procedure reductions, sequestration, and annual budget-neutrality adjustments can change the final paid amount.
  • Always verify current rates and coverage rules with your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) before billing.

Frequently asked

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

When the practice-expense RVU is identical for both settings, the calculated allowed amount is the same regardless of where the service is performed.

Why does the allowed amount differ by locality?

Each locality has its own GPCI values for work, practice expense, and malpractice, which adjust the RVUs to reflect regional cost differences before the conversion factor is applied.

Does this amount reflect what the patient will owe?

No. The PFS amount is the total allowed amount; Medicare generally pays 80% after the deductible, with the patient or secondary payer responsible for the rest, subject to plan-specific rules.

Will this amount stay the same next year?

No. CMS updates the conversion factor and may revise RVUs annually, so the allowed amount can change from year to year even if the code itself is unchanged.
