The official CMS data behind Q3 2024 on this site—in effect July 1 – September 30, 2024. The quarterly lab fee schedule files (26CLABQ3, 25CLABQ4, …) carrying what Medicare allows for every clinical laboratory test it prices nationally—finished dollar amounts rather than RVUs—plus the rows CMS flags for MAC pricing instead.

Files without a download link carry a descriptor column that isn't licensed for redistribution and couldn't be safely removed automatically. Their columns are documented below all the same, and CMS's own copy is one click up.
What the columns mean Copy link
CMS publishes these files with minimal documentation, and both the column names and their order drift between releases—which is why we parse by header name, never by position. Any column position shown here is the one we recorded when parsing this release.
