Medicare volume is ranked against active providers in the same specialty.

What this provider does (Medicare)

Based on Medicare fee-for-service claims, 2024; not all care is captured.

Service (HCPCS)	Medicare services	Typical Medicare-allowed (2024)
Initial Hospital Care With Moderate Level of Medical Decision Making, If Using Time, at Least 75 Minutes99223	283	$169
Initial Hospital Care With Straightforward Or Low-Level Medical Decision Making, If Using Time, at Least 55 Minutes99222	118	$128
Critical Care, First 30-74 Minutes99291	25	$208
Subsequent Hospital Care With Moderate Levelof Medical Decision Making, If Using Time, at Least 35 Minutes99232	22	$78

Typical Medicare-allowed amounts for these services range $78–$208 (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. Medicare Part B covers roughly an eighth of all NPIs (65+ skew); services with fewer than 11 beneficiaries are suppressed by CMS.
