Office (non-facility), Q1 2024, before sequestration; 2024 standard (non-QP) physician conversion factor $33.2875. For the facility amount, a modifier or a date of service, use the rate calculator, already set to this locality, or start from your field's procedure mix on the specialty fee schedules.
Why do Medicare rates in New Mexico differ from the national amount?
For nationally priced Physician Fee Schedule services, Medicare adjusts each code's work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs by this locality's three GPCIs before applying the conversion factor. Local costs for physician work, running an office, and liability insurance therefore move the final amount up or down. New Mexico currently has mixed GPCI components, so the net payment effect varies by code for the Q1 2024 release.
Do commercial insurers or Medicare Advantage plans use this locality?
Original Medicare uses these PFS localities directly. Commercial and Medicare Advantage plans are not required to use the same locality structure. A contract may pay a percentage of Medicare, but its own wording decides which Medicare release, percentage, geography, and adjustments apply.
Does my locality affect what I owe as a patient?
For a covered service, a higher allowed amount in your locality usually means a higher 20% coinsurance. The effect depends on the code, the beneficiary's deductible, supplemental coverage, and other claim circumstances.
Which ZIP codes are in New Mexico? Copy link
439 ZIP codes in NM, per the CMS ZIP-to-locality crosswalk (Q1 2024). 1 of them, outlined with a dashed border, span more than one locality: CMS places those by ZIP+4, so this locality holds for only part of each.
The Q1 2024 ZIP-to-locality crosswalk file is not a captured CMS release; each reconstructed field has high confidence from bracketing CMS files and documented effective-quarter changes, but the original CMS artifact has not been recovered.

Have a service address? Look up its ZIP and date of service to confirm the locality.
How do I know if my address is in this locality?
Medicare payment localities are geographic fee-schedule areas, commonly defined with county boundaries. CMS uses the ZIP code where the service was performed to assign a claim to its contractor and locality. Look up your ZIP to find your locality. About 1 ZIP codes in New Mexico span more than one locality and need the ZIP+4 to resolve exactly.

Newest first; releases with unchanged GPCIs share a row.
Why did my Medicare payment change even though I didn't change what I billed?
CMS publishes updated PFS files during the year. A code's amount can change because of conversion-factor, RVU, policy, or correction updates. GPCIs are usually set once a year in the fee schedule rule, though later files can correct them. See what changed each release.
