Work GPCI without Medicare's 1.0 floor: 0.985.

All three GPCIs are at or below the national baseline of 1.000, so codes priced with the standard RVU formula usually pay less here than the national amount.

Office (non-facility), Q1 2026, before sequestration; 2026 standard (non-QP) physician conversion factor $33.4009. 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 Utah 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. Utah currently has all three GPCIs at or below the national baseline, so services priced with the standard RVU formula usually come out below the national amount for the Q1 2026 release.

Is Utah's work GPCI held up by Medicare's 1.0 floor?

Yes. This locality's raw work GPCI is 0.985. A legislated floor holds the work GPCI at 1.000 or above, so lower local physician wages still pay at the national baseline. The floored value, 1.000, is what the payment formula uses.

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.

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. A few ZIPs nationally span multiple localities and need ZIP+4 to resolve exactly.

Have its GPCIs changed? Copy link

These GPCIs took effect January 2026: PE 0.933 → 0.940, MP 0.930 → 0.898.

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.
