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 Nevada averages are unweighted means of the state’s localities, not population-weighted.
How Medicare prices Nevada
Nevada's Medicare rates flow from a single statewide locality with adjustments a little above the national midpoint, shaped mostly by Las Vegas wage and cost levels. Clark County holds nearly three quarters of the state's population, so the statewide factors largely mirror the Las Vegas economy, with Reno and the rural counties along for the ride. A procedure in Elko is approved at the same amount as one on the Strip's doorstep. The gap between that uniform pricing and Nevada's very uneven provider supply is what patients notice most.
Nevada has long ranked among the states with the fewest physicians per resident, and the shortage is sharpest in specialties, so waits and travel are common even in Las Vegas. Reno serves the north and pulls some patients from rural Nevada and eastern California. Many rural Nevadans cross into Utah, Arizona, or California for procedures, and complex cases are often referred to Los Angeles, Phoenix, or Salt Lake City.
Enter a ZIP code for your area, whether the Las Vegas Valley and Henderson, Reno-Sparks, Carson City, or rural stretches like Elko and the central basin towns.

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.
