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. In New Hampshire the office and hospital physician lines for this CPT differ by $69.54.
National vs New Hampshire
Where New Hampshire ranks for this CPT
Office Visit (Established, High) and how New Hampshire is priced
New Hampshire is priced as one statewide locality with geographic indices above the national average, keeping company with its high-cost New England neighbors. From Nashua to the North Country, the fee schedule applies identical adjustments, even though the southern tier is economically an extension of greater Boston. CMS has never split the state, so the Massachusetts border is also a pricing border: cross it southbound and the metro Boston locality takes over. That makes New Hampshire a clear example of how locality lines, not just providers, shape what Medicare approves.
Southern New Hampshire residents routinely use Boston hospitals for complex care, accepting metro pricing in exchange for academic-center depth, while the state's own tertiary referral center sits in the west near the Vermont border. The Lakes Region and North Country rely on small rural hospitals with limited procedure menus. No state income or sales tax attracts retirees, steadily raising Medicare demand.
This procedure: This is the highest established-patient office visit level, for encounters involving high-complexity decisions: severe worsening of a chronic illness, problems that threaten life or bodily function, or decisions about hospitalization, major surgery, or high-risk drug therapy requiring intensive monitoring. Billed by time it means 40 to 54 minutes on the visit date. It is far less common than levels three and four, appearing when something significant is genuinely happening with your health.
What Is Office Visit (Established, High)?
This is the highest established-patient office visit level, for encounters involving high-complexity decisions: severe worsening of a chronic illness, problems that threaten life or bodily function, or decisions about hospitalization, major surgery, or high-risk drug therapy requiring intensive monitoring. Billed by time it means 40 to 54 minutes on the visit date. It is far less common than levels three and four, appearing when something significant is genuinely happening with your health.
What Affects the Cost
- –It carries the highest established-visit price, and visits at this level usually sit inside expensive care episodes: imminent hospitalizations, treatment escalations, or complex disease flares.
- –The decisions made here, starting high-risk medications, ordering urgent advanced imaging, arranging admission, each open substantial separate spending.
- –Prolonged-service add-on codes attach beyond 54 minutes, extending charges.
- –Specialist and academic-center billing at this level exceeds primary care rates.
- –Facility fees apply as always in hospital-owned settings, proportionally largest on the biggest visit codes.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.What made today a level-five visit, and what is that price under my plan?
- 2.Which of the urgent next steps you are ordering need authorization, and who handles the expedited requests?
- 3.If admission is possible, does my plan require notification, and will you handle it?
- 4.Are prolonged-service charges being added for today's visit length?
- 5.Does my plan offer care management support that could cover some of this follow-up at no cost?

Not on the physician fee schedule. New Hampshire uses one locality, so the Medicare physician rate is the same from one end of the state to the other. What still changes is site of service (office vs hospital) and any facility fee the hospital bills on its own claim.
After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $39 for the office physician line or $25 for the hospital physician line in New Hampshire. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $195.28 is the Medicare physician allowed amount for CPT 99215. Anesthesia, facility fees, implants, and other CPT codes billed the same day are extra. New Hampshire ranks #37 of 51 states on this physician line (within 2% of the national office rate of $192.39).
