Medicare rate by state

Understanding this rate

A Medicare rate is not one number — it is several, combined. Here is what each part of the CPT 99056 rate above actually means.

Why isn't this code priced?

Not every billing code has a national Medicare rate. Some are priced locally by each Medicare contractor, some are paid at a state Medicaid rate, and some are reimbursed only by commercial payers.

Who actually pays for it, then

Commercial payers negotiate their own rate for codes Medicare doesn't price, independent of any federal fee schedule. See what payers negotiate for 99056.
