Facility vs. Non-Facility (Office) Payment

Medicare often publishes two payment rates for the same code: a **non-facility** rate (typically used when the service is performed in a private office where the clinician bears more overhead) and a **facility** rate (typically used when performed in a hospital or facility where the facility bills separately for its costs).

Because the practice expense portion of RVUs differs by setting, the non-facility and facility payment amounts can be different. For locality-adjusted estimates in 2026, use MedFeeSchedule's Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Lookup Tool.
