Beneficiary counts apply to one code at a time. A patient who received two of these codes is counted under both, so the column cannot be added up into a number of people. Rank is each code's position among all 7,879 CPT codes billed to Medicare in CY2024, so the column skips a number wherever a code we don't yet cover sits.

Which codes bring in the most Medicare money?

Spending concentrates hard. The top 25 codes carry 56.9% of the $84.2B these 500 codes account for.

  1. 1 99214 Established Patient Office Visit, Level 4 $12.2B
  2. 2 99213 Established Patient Office Visit, Level 3 $5.8B
  3. 3 99233 Subsequent Hospital Care, Level 3 $2.7B
  4. 4 99232 Subsequent Hospital Care, Level 2 $2.6B
  5. 5 99215 Established Patient Office Visit, Level 5 $2.1B
  6. 6 66984 Cataract Surgery with Lens Implant $2.0B
  7. 7 99204 New Patient Office Visit, Level 4 $2.0B
  8. 8 99223 Initial Hospital Care, Level 3 $1.7B
  9. 9 99285 Emergency Department Visit, Level 5 $1.5B
  10. 10 97110 Therapeutic Exercise, 15 Minutes $1.5B

Why the most common codes aren't the most expensive

Rank the same 500 codes by patients and then by dollars, and the two lists disagree. A cheap service given to millions and a costly one given to thousands can land far apart depending on which question you ask.

What this data covers — and what it doesn't

These are CY2024 Medicare fee-for-service totals at the national level. Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and commercial volume are excluded, so real-world use of every code here runs higher than the numbers show.

Beneficiary counts belong to a single code. Summing that column would count the same patient once for every code they received, so this page never totals it or calls it a patient count.

The shortlist covers numeric CPT codes. Drug codes and HCPCS Level II are excluded by design — the first are billed per unit, which makes service counts incomparable, and the second already carry CMS-owned descriptions.

4 codes on this list have since left the fee schedule. CMS billed them heavily in CY2024 and then deleted them, so their links point at the last quarter that priced them rather than at a page that no longer exists.

How the ranking is built

A code's overall position is its best standing across two measures: unique beneficiaries served and total allowed dollars. Ranking on either one alone buries half the story — beneficiaries favor cheap high-volume tests, dollars favor expensive procedures. Sort the table by a single measure to see each view on its own. The ranking spans all 7,879 CPT codes billed to Medicare in CY2024; this table shows the top 500 we cover.
