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 Oklahoma the office and hospital physician lines for this CPT differ by $68.31.
National vs Oklahoma
Where Oklahoma ranks for this CPT
Office Visit (New, High) and how Oklahoma is priced
Oklahoma is priced as one statewide locality with geographic indices in the low national tier, so Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and the rural southwest share a single set of Medicare-approved amounts. The state's two big metros hold most of its providers, but neither carries a separate locality premium. Low practice-cost indices keep Oklahoma's published rates among the more affordable in the fee schedule. What patients pay hinges mainly on care setting and insurance status rather than where in the state they live.
Oklahoma City and Tulsa split the state's specialty care between them, each with academic-affiliated medical centers and competing regional systems. Rural Oklahoma has struggled with hospital closures and physician recruitment, leaving long drives in the Panhandle and the southeast. Tribal health systems are a significant part of the care landscape, operating some of the larger rural facilities in the state.
This procedure: This is the highest-level new-patient office visit, reserved for genuinely complex first encounters: multiple serious conditions, a diagnosis that could threaten life or function, or decisions about major interventions. Billed by time, it means 60 to 74 minutes with the clinician on the visit date. Typical examples include a first oncology consultation, a complicated multi-system workup, or a new patient with several unstable chronic diseases.

Not on the physician fee schedule. Oklahoma 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 $45 for the office physician line or $31 for the hospital physician line in Oklahoma. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
