Typical Medicare-allowed amounts for these services range $183–$1,439 (2024). The Medicare-allowed amount is what Medicare recognizes for a service under fee-for-service — a reference figure for 2024, not a price quote and not what you would be billed.

$1,453 across 14 records (Open Payments 2024)
