Source & method Copy link

We compute GPCIs and example rates from the CMS Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q4 2026 release. Example amounts apply each locality's GPCIs to nationally priced Office (non-facility) RVUs, before the ~2% sequestration cut. Past releases are never edited, so a rate for an earlier quarter always matches what CMS published for it.
