CMS Anesthesia base unit files, release by release

The base units per anesthesia CPT code that anchor the anesthesia payment formula. Published irregularly — only when the units actually change, which is rare.

Unlike the quarterly fee-schedule files, CMS publishes this one irregularly — a new file appears only when the values actually change. Each version we ingested is preserved below and stays in effect until CMS publishes a revision.

CMS reorganizes its site often and direct file links break. If a download link below stops working, every release remains available from the official CMS Anesthesia base units page.

2022

In effect from January 2022 until revised.

Our methodology documents how every file is parsed, versioned, and verified@if ($isPfs) — the changes pages show the quarter-over-quarter rate movement each release caused@endif.
