Common questions Copy link

Which ZIP codes does the Queens, NY rate for 90853 cover?
The CMS ZIP-to-locality crosswalk maps 84 ZIP codes to this payment locality, and every one of them prices 90853 identically. Examples include 11004, 11005, 11101, 11102, 11103, 11104. 1 of them span more than one payment locality, so those need ZIP+4 for an exact match.
Why is the 90853 rate in Queens, NY different from the national amount?
The national figure is a GPCI 1.000 baseline, not an amount any provider is paid. This locality's geographic practice cost indices — work 1.064, practice expense 1.182, malpractice 1.442 — scale each RVU component before the conversion factor is applied, which is why Queens, NY allows more than the $30.39 baseline.
What is the facility rate for 90853 in Queens, NY?
$26.27 in a facility, versus $33.37 in the office (non-facility) setting — a $7.10 difference. Only the practice-expense RVU changes with the setting: in an office the practice carries the overhead, so the professional payment is higher; in a hospital or ASC the facility bills its own fee.
What is the non-participating amount and limiting charge for 90853 in Queens, NY?
A non-participating provider is paid $31.70 — 95% of the $33.37 participating fee schedule amount. On an unassigned claim the limiting charge caps what the patient can be billed at $36.46, which is 115% of the non-participating amount.
How much of the Queens, NY 90853 rate does Medicare actually pay?
Medicare pays 80% of the allowed amount ($26.70) once the annual Part B deductible is met, and the beneficiary owes 20% ($6.67). Sequestration reduces Medicare's share by about 2% ($0.53), leaving $26.17. Sequestration never changes the allowed amount itself, which is why it is shown separately here.
