Maryland Medicare physician rate (2026)
+3.2% vs nationalAverage of 2 localities. Office range $631.57–$673.90.
What the whole procedure costs
The rate above is the physician’s fee on its own. The facility bills separately, and for most procedures the facility is the larger half of the bill. These are 2026 national Medicare amounts.
Choosing a surgery centre over a hospital saves about $2,397 on the Medicare allowed amount for partial mastectomy. Ask whether your procedure can be done at an ambulatory surgery centre.
Medicare pays the hospital a single comprehensive amount for this procedure, covering the facility's share of the encounter including implants and supplies. Medicare allowed amounts are not what an uninsured patient is charged, and not a quote. Private plans typically allow more.
Your ZIP in Maryland
A ZIP lookup matters in Maryland because three different locality treatments are in play: check whether you fall in the Baltimore area, the DC suburbs like Bethesda and Silver Spring, or rest-of-state regions like Frederick, Hagerstown, and the Eastern Shore.

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 centre 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.
National vs Maryland
Where Maryland ranks for this CPT
CPT 19301 by Maryland locality
| Locality | Office |
|---|---|
| baltimore/surr. cntys | $673.90 |
| rest of maryland | $631.57 |
PE GPCI ranges from 1.012 to 1.073 in Maryland. That index is why the same CPT is not one price statewide.
Partial Mastectomy and how Maryland is priced
Maryland's Medicare physician pricing is split geographically: Baltimore and its surrounding counties form one locality, the rest of the state another, and, unusually, the Washington suburbs including Montgomery and Prince George's counties are priced inside the District of Columbia's high-cost locality rather than either Maryland one. That three-way carve means a Rockville procedure is approved at DC-area rates while an identical one in Frederick or Salisbury is not. Baltimore-area adjustments sit above rest-of-state levels but below the DC locality. Few states have their pricing shaped this much by a neighboring jurisdiction.
Maryland is also the only state with an all-payer rate-setting system for hospital services, so hospital-side billing works differently here than anywhere else in the country, though physician fees still follow the standard Medicare schedule. Baltimore's academic medical centers rank among the most prominent in the world and draw patients globally. The Eastern Shore and western Maryland are far more rural, with patients often traveling to Baltimore, Annapolis, or across state lines.
This procedure: A partial mastectomy, commonly called a lumpectomy, removes a breast tumor along with a rim of surrounding healthy tissue while preserving the rest of the breast. It is the surgical core of breast-conserving treatment for early-stage breast cancer. The operation is done under general anesthesia in a hospital or surgery center, usually takes one to two hours, and most patients go home the same day with soreness managed by oral medication.
What Is Partial Mastectomy?

What Affects the Cost
- –Lymph node procedures done at the same time, such as sentinel node biopsy with radioactive tracer and dye, are billed as separate surgical codes.
- –Pre-surgical wire or radioactive seed localization to mark a tumor that cannot be felt adds a radiology procedure charge.
- –The anesthesia team bills separately based on the length of the operation.
- –Pathology charges for examining the tumor, the margins, and any lymph nodes are substantial and billed by the lab.
- –Hospital outpatient departments usually cost more than ambulatory surgery centers for the identical operation.
- –If margins come back positive, a second re-excision surgery repeats many of these charges.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Will you also do a sentinel lymph node biopsy, and what does that add to the total?
- 2.Is the surgery scheduled at a hospital or an ambulatory surgery center, and can I choose the cheaper setting?
- 3.What happens to my costs if the margins are positive and you need to operate again?
- 4.Are the anesthesiologist and pathology lab in my network?
- 5.Which follow-up visits are included in the 90-day global surgical period?

Yes. CMS splits Maryland into 2 payment localities. For this CPT the office physician fee spans $42.33 from the lowest to highest locality. A ZIP lookup matters in Maryland because three different locality treatments are in play: check whether you fall in the Baltimore area, the DC suburbs like Bethesda and Silver Spring, or rest-of-state regions like Frederick, Hagerstown, and the Eastern Shore.
After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $131 for the office physician line or $131 for the hospital physician line in Maryland. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $652.74 is only the physician's share. Adding Medicare's facility payment brings the total to about $4,633 in a hospital outpatient department, or about $2,236 at an ambulatory surgery centre. Anesthesia, pathology and other codes billed the same day are extra. Maryland ranks #41 of 51 states on the physician line (3% above the national office rate of $632.61).
