Illinois Medicare physician rate (2026)
+1.8% vs nationalAverage of 4 localities. Office range $200.27–$210.69.
What it costs in a hospital or surgery center
In a doctor’s office, the office rate above is the whole Medicare payment. When the same procedure is done in a hospital or surgery center, the facility bills its own fee on top of the physician, which is what these totals show. They are 2026 national Medicare amounts.
Medicare may pay the facility separately for this code or package it into another service on the same day, so treat the facility share as an upper bound. Medicare allowed amounts are not what an uninsured patient is charged, and not a quote. Private plans typically allow more.

What these numbers are
Every figure on this page is a 2026 Medicare allowed amount: the physician line comes from the Physician Fee Schedule adjusted by geographic practice-cost indices, and the facility totals come from the CMS hospital outpatient (OPPS) and ambulatory surgery center rates. None of them is a hospital chargemaster price, your insurer's contracted rate, or a quote. Anesthesia, pathology, imaging reads and follow-up care are billed under their own codes when they apply, and an inpatient stay is paid a different way again. In Illinois the office and hospital physician lines for this CPT differ by $41.31.

Psychiatric Evaluation With Medical Services and how Illinois is priced
Illinois uses one of the more detailed locality maps in the Midwest: Chicago has its own locality, the suburban collar counties are priced separately, the East St. Louis area carries its own locality tied to the St. Louis market, and the rest of the state shares a fourth. Approved amounts step down noticeably from the city and suburbs to downstate, so the same procedure prices differently in Chicago, Naperville, Belleville, and Springfield. This four-way split makes Illinois one of the states where a ZIP-level check genuinely changes the answer. Downstate rates align more closely with neighboring rural states than with Chicagoland.
Chicago is one of the country's great medical hubs, with multiple academic medical centers and deep specialist supply, and its suburbs support large competing systems of their own. Downstate Illinois is a different market: smaller cities like Peoria, Springfield, and Champaign serve wide rural areas, and the Metro East suburbs orient toward St. Louis providers. Where you sit on that map shapes both price and choice.
This procedure: This is the psychiatric diagnostic evaluation performed by a medical provider, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner, that includes medical services: reviewing your health history and medications, considering physical causes of symptoms, and usually prescribing or adjusting psychiatric medication. It typically lasts 45 to 90 minutes as the intake for medication management. Follow-up prescribing visits are then shorter and billed under different codes.

What Affects the Cost
- –Psychiatrists are among the least likely of all physicians to accept insurance, so cash-pay intake fees are common and vary widely by market.
- –This medical evaluation code pays more than the non-medical 90791, and clinician list prices reflect that.
- –Any labs ordered at intake, such as thyroid or metabolic panels before starting medication, are billed separately by the lab.
- –Follow-up medication visits recur monthly or quarterly indefinitely, so the ongoing cadence matters more than the intake price.
- –Private-pay concierge psychiatry practices bundle intakes and follow-ups into membership pricing outside insurance entirely.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Do you take my insurance, and what are your cash rates for the intake and for follow-ups?
- 2.How often will I need follow-up visits, and how are those billed?
- 3.Will you order baseline labs, and where should I have them drawn to stay in network?
- 4.If therapy is recommended alongside medication, do you provide it or refer out?
- 5.Can I request a network-gap exception if no in-network prescriber is available in a reasonable time?
