Maximum units per day (MUE)

Medicare’s Medically Unlikely Edit caps this code at 1 unit 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 allowed 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 service locality. These GPCI-adjusted RVUs are summed and multiplied by the annual national conversion factor to produce the allowed amount. Practice-expense RVUs typically differ between non-facility (e.g., office) and facility (e.g., hospital) settings because overhead costs differ, which can make the allowed amount vary by place of service. The conversion factor and RVU values are updated annually and are subject to budget-neutrality adjustments.

RVUs — work 11.92, practice expense 9.43 (non-facility) / 9.43 (facility), malpractice 2.54 — × the locality GPCIs × the 2026 conversion factor of $33.40.

Good to know

  • This figure is an estimate only, not a guarantee of payment.
  • Medicare typically pays 80% of the allowed amount after the annual Part B deductible is met; the patient or secondary payer is responsible for the remainder.
  • Modifiers, multiple-procedure reductions, sequestration, and locality-specific GPCIs can all change the final payment.
  • Annual budget-neutrality adjustments and fee schedule updates may change RVUs and the conversion factor from year to year.
  • Always confirm actual payment amounts and coverage rules with your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC).

Frequently asked

Why does the facility amount differ from the non-facility amount?

The practice-expense RVU component is calculated separately for non-facility and facility settings to reflect differing overhead costs, which can change the total allowed amount even though work and malpractice RVUs stay the same.

Is this the amount my practice will actually be paid?

No. This is an estimate based on national PFS data. Actual payment depends on your specific locality GPCIs, any applicable modifiers, secondary payer rules, and sequestration adjustments.

Does this amount include the patient's share?

The listed amount is the total Medicare-allowed amount. Medicare generally pays 80% after the deductible, with the patient or secondary insurance responsible for the remaining 20%.

Why can this amount change year to year?

RVUs and the conversion factor are reviewed and updated annually, and budget-neutrality adjustments required by law can shift allowed amounts even if the code's relative value is unchanged.
