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 $41.16.
National vs Oklahoma
Where Oklahoma ranks for this CPT
Office Visit (New, Low) 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 a new-patient office visit of low complexity: your first appointment with a practice in at least three years, for a problem that is relatively contained, such as a stable rash, a minor joint complaint, or a straightforward infection. The clinician takes your history, examines you, and forms a plan, typically across 30 to 44 minutes when billed by time. New-patient visits pay more than established-patient visits because building your baseline record takes longer.
What Is Office Visit (New, Low)?
This is a new-patient office visit of low complexity: your first appointment with a practice in at least three years, for a problem that is relatively contained, such as a stable rash, a minor joint complaint, or a straightforward infection. The clinician takes your history, examines you, and forms a plan, typically across 30 to 44 minutes when billed by time. New-patient visits pay more than established-patient visits because building your baseline record takes longer.
What Affects the Cost
- –New-patient codes price meaningfully above the equivalent established-patient visit, a one-time premium for joining a practice.
- –Hospital-owned practices add a facility fee to office visits that independent practices cannot, sometimes doubling the encounter cost.
- –Any labs, ECGs, or procedures done during the visit bill on top of the visit code.
- –Specialist new-patient visits at this same code level are billed at higher charge-master rates than primary care in many systems.
- –If your problem turns out more complex than expected, the visit may be coded a level higher (99204) at a higher price.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Am I being seen as a new patient, and what is the price difference versus an established visit?
- 2.Is this practice hospital-owned, and will a facility fee be added to my visit?
- 3.What will any labs or tests today add to the bill?
- 4.If I also want my annual physical, will that be billed separately from this problem visit?
- 5.What is your self-pay price for this visit level if I have a high deductible?

Oklahoma is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 99203 is $110.09 in an office and $68.93 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
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 $22 for the office physician line or $14 for the hospital physician line in Oklahoma. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $110.09 is the Medicare physician allowed amount for CPT 99203. Anesthesia, facility fees, implants, and other CPT codes billed the same day are extra. Oklahoma ranks #9 of 51 states on this physician line (6% below the national office rate of $117.57).
