Source & method

Show sources

This page uses CMS's Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q4 2020 release (effective October 2020). National baselines use GPCI 1.000 and exclude sequestration. Whether a national amount exists depends on the status and CMS’s payment instructions; blank RVUs are never treated as zero. Past releases are never edited, so these sources stay valid after CMS publishes a newer one. Our methodology explains sourcing, parsing, versioning, and how we cross-check claims before we publish them.

Use the (i) buttons next to each amount above for the exact row, columns, and math.

The citation names the release, so anyone can check it even after CMS publishes a newer one.
