Source & method Copy link
Amounts computed from the CMS Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q1 2019 release , GPCI 1.000, before the ~2% sequestration cut. This is our own clean-room grouping by common clinical scenario, not the AMA’s code-family taxonomy. It is a curated starter set, not a utilization-weighted specialty mix. A code with no amount is either not separately payable under the PFS or absent from the release—never a fake $0.
CMS defines a walk-in retail health clinic as place of service 17, which uses the Office (non-facility) PFS rate. The public Provider and Service utilization file cannot isolate exact POS 17 volume, so the list is curated rather than utilization weighted. Laboratory tests, vaccines, and drug products may use separate Medicare pricing systems and are not represented here.
