Participating provider, no modifiers, whole service, before sequestration. Change these
Report a problemThe Medicare allowed amount is $178.43 in the Office (non-facility) setting and $115.98 in a facility, under the Q4 2026 Physician Fee Schedule. This is the fee schedule amount before sequestration and before any deductible or coinsurance is applied—not necessarily what a specific claim pays.
What Medicare locality is Providence, RI in? Copy link
CMS prices all of Rhode Island as one Medicare payment locality, so this amount applies statewide, including Warwick, Cranston and Pawtucket—not only in Providence, RI.
Confirm the locality before using this amount. A split ZIP needs ZIP+4 for an exact match.
ZIP codes in this payment locality (91)
The CMS ZIP-to-locality crosswalk maps 91 ZIP codes to this payment locality. Use this amount only after you confirm the service location is in this locality.
Which ZIP codes does the Providence, RI rate for G0402 cover?
The CMS ZIP-to-locality crosswalk maps 91 ZIP codes to this payment locality, and G0402 has the same amount in every one of them. Examples include 02801, 02802, 02804, 02806, 02807, 02808.
Does this G0402 rate apply everywhere in Rhode Island?
Yes. CMS prices Rhode Island as a single Medicare payment locality, so the same GPCIs—and the same allowed amount—apply statewide, not only in Providence, RI. That includes Warwick, Cranston and Pawtucket. The city name here is a search-facing label for a statewide payment locality, not a city-specific rate.

Office (non-facility) · Q4 2026 · Participating · Whole service
Providence, RI's $178.43 compares with the $174.69 national PFS baseline (GPCI 1.000). Each of this locality's geographic practice cost indices (GPCIs) scales one RVU component before the conversion factor is applied. Together they put Providence, RI 2.1% above the national baseline.
Providence, RI ranks #53 of 109 Medicare payment localities for G0402, where #1 has the highest allowed amount.
Each figure is that GPCI's share of the +$3.74 gap from the national baseline: its RVUs for G0402 × (GPCI − 1.000) × the conversion factor. Practice expense accounts for the most, +$2.71.

Why is the G0402 rate in Providence, RI 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 1.019, practice expense 1.033, malpractice 0.892—scale each RVU component before the conversion factor is applied, which is why the Providence, RI amount is higher than the $174.69 baseline.

The allowed amount went from $164.87 in Q4 2025 to $178.43 in Q4 2026, +$13.56 (+8.2%). The national baseline moved +8.7% over the same period.

A derived breakdown of the two releases' formula inputs, applied in order: the conversion factor on Q4 2025's RVUs and GPCIs, then G0402's new RVUs, then this locality's new GPCIs. A different order moves a few cents between rows; the total is exact.

Source & method Copy link
Computed from the CMS Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q4 2026 release: this code's RVUs from the relative value file, multiplied by payment locality 14412-01's GPCIs, then by the 2026 conversion factor of $33.4009. ZIP coverage from the CMS ZIP-to-locality crosswalk, Q4 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.
