Rates marked ⚠ are more than three times the median for the same unit; they are published as shown but often reflect an office (non-facility) fee or a different scope of service. Rates are per the unit shown for each state; units can differ between states. Medicare amounts are computed from the CMS relative value file and locality cost indices with the CMS formula; states with several Medicare localities show a range. Confirm rates with the payer before billing.
