Q3 2026 · Locality 04212-05 · Participating · Whole service · Sequestration excluded
What Medicare locality is Albuquerque, NM in? Copy link
CMS prices all of New Mexico as one Medicare payment locality, so this amount applies statewide, including Las Cruces, Rio Rancho and Santa Fe—not only in Albuquerque, NM.
Confirm the locality before using this amount. A split ZIP needs ZIP+4 for an exact match.
ZIP codes in this payment locality (439)
The CMS ZIP-to-locality crosswalk maps 439 ZIP codes to this payment locality. Use this amount only after you confirm the service location is in this locality. Of these, 1 span more than one locality and need ZIP+4 for an exact match.
339 more ZIP codes map to this locality. The Albuquerque, NM locality page lists the full set.
Which ZIP codes does the Albuquerque, NM rate for 97112 cover?
The CMS ZIP-to-locality crosswalk maps 439 ZIP codes to this payment locality, and 97112 has the same amount in every one of them. Examples include 87001, 87002, 87004, 87005, 87006, 87007. Of these, 1 span more than one payment locality and need ZIP+4 for an exact match.
Does this 97112 rate apply everywhere in New Mexico?
Yes. CMS prices New Mexico as a single Medicare payment locality, so the same GPCIs—and the same allowed amount—apply statewide, not only in Albuquerque, NM. That includes Las Cruces, Rio Rancho and Santa Fe. The city name here is a search-facing label for a statewide payment locality, not a city-specific rate.
How locality affects the amount Copy link
Office (non-facility) · Q3 2026 · Participating · Whole service
Each of this locality's geographic practice cost indices (GPCIs) scales one RVU component before the conversion factor is applied. Together they put Albuquerque, NM 3.8% below the national baseline.
Why is the 97112 rate in Albuquerque, NM 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 1.000, practice expense 0.917, malpractice 1.201—scale each RVU component before the conversion factor is applied, which is why the Albuquerque, NM amount is lower than the $32.73 baseline.
Formula and inputs Copy link
For the office (non-facility) amount, each of 97112's RVU components is multiplied by its Albuquerque, NM GPCI; the products are summed and multiplied by the conversion factor.

Participating, non-participating and limiting charge Copy link
All figures are for the office (non-facility) setting in Albuquerque, NM. Medicare pays part of the allowed amount and the patient pays the rest; the rows below show each figure. See how the limiting charge and sequestration are derived.
| Participating allowed amount The fee schedule amount a participating provider accepts as payment in full. | $31.50 |
|---|---|
| Non-participating allowed amount 95% of the participating amount. | $29.92 |
| Limiting charge Ceiling a non-participating provider may bill the patient on an unassigned claim—115% of the non-participating amount. | $34.41 |
| Medicare share 80% of the allowed amount, once the annual Part B deductible is met. | $25.20 |
| Patient coinsurance The remaining 20%. | $6.30 |
| Sequestration adjustment Reduces only Medicare's share—never the allowed amount or the patient's coinsurance. | $0.50 |
| Net Medicare payment Medicare's share after the sequestration reduction. | $24.70 |
What is the non-participating amount and limiting charge for 97112 in Albuquerque, NM?
A non-participating provider is paid $29.92—95% of the $31.50 participating fee schedule amount. On an unassigned claim the limiting charge caps what the patient can be billed at $34.41, which is 115% of the non-participating amount.
How much of the Albuquerque, NM 97112 rate does Medicare actually pay?
Medicare pays 80% of the allowed amount ($25.20) once the annual Part B deductible is met, and the beneficiary owes 20% ($6.30). Sequestration reduces Medicare's share by about 2% ($0.50), leaving $24.70. Sequestration never changes the allowed amount itself, which is why it is shown separately here.
Contracted rate: % of Medicare in Albuquerque, NM Copy link
Commercial contracts are often written as a percentage of the Medicare fee schedule. The part that gets misread is which Medicare amount: a contract benchmarked to the fee schedule prices off this locality's allowed amount—$31.50 in the office (non-facility) setting—not the $32.73 national baseline.

Source & method Copy link
Computed from the CMS Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q3 2026 release: this code's RVUs from the relative value file, multiplied by payment locality 04212-05's GPCIs, then by the 2026 conversion factor of $33.4009. ZIP coverage from the CMS ZIP-to-locality crosswalk, Q3 2026 release. Past releases are never edited, so an amount for an earlier quarter always matches what CMS published for it. Coverage and coding correctness are outside this calculation.
