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. These Mississippi averages are unweighted means of the state’s localities, not population-weighted.
How Medicare prices Mississippi
Mississippi operates as one statewide payment locality, and its geographic indices are among the very lowest in the fee schedule, so Medicare-approved amounts here are close to the national floor. Jackson, the Gulf Coast, and the Delta all share identical adjustments. In a state where practice costs and wages run well below national averages, the low locality factors track the underlying economics. The statewide figures on this site therefore apply almost unchanged wherever in Mississippi you are treated.
Jackson is home to the state's academic medical center and functions as the referral point of last resort for much of Mississippi, while the Gulf Coast and cities like Tupelo, Hattiesburg, and Meridian anchor regional care. The Delta faces some of the most serious rural access challenges in the nation, with hospital closures and long distances compounding high rates of chronic illness. Border residents often use Memphis, Mobile, or New Orleans providers.
Run a ZIP lookup for your area, whether metro Jackson, the Gulf Coast from Biloxi to Pascagoula, Hattiesburg, Tupelo, or the rural Delta.

Medicare physician allowed amounts only — the professional fee after GPCI. They do not include hospital facility charges, anesthesia, or your plan’s contracted rate. Medicare patients typically owe 20% of the allowed amount after the Part B deductible, before Medigap.
