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 West Virginia the office and hospital physician lines for this CPT differ by $32.80.
National vs West Virginia
Where West Virginia ranks for this CPT
Office Visit (Established, Moderate) and how West Virginia is priced
West Virginia is one statewide payment locality with geographic indices among the lowest in the eastern United States, so its published Medicare rates apply identically from the Eastern Panhandle to the southern coalfields. The uniform pricing spans a state whose mountainous terrain makes actual travel to care unusually difficult relative to straight-line distances. CMS's work index floor supports the state's low-cost profile. Morgantown, Charleston, and Huntington all bill against the same geographic factors.
The state's care concentrates around its academic medical centers in Morgantown and Huntington and the capital-region hospitals in Charleston, each serving long mountain catchments. West Virginia's population is among the oldest and highest-need in the country, and hospital finances have been fragile in many counties. Eastern Panhandle residents commonly use Maryland or Virginia providers, and northern residents look to Pittsburgh.
This procedure: This is the routine follow-up appointment of American medicine: an established-patient office visit of low-to-moderate complexity, such as a blood pressure check with a medication refill, a stable chronic condition review, or a minor new complaint. Billed by time it covers 20 to 29 minutes on the visit date. It is among the most frequently billed codes in the entire healthcare system, the standard quick-but-real doctor visit.

What Affects the Cost
- –Established-patient status keeps the price below any new-patient visit; this level is typically the cheapest substantive visit on a fee schedule after the minimal 99212.
- –Hospital-owned clinics attach facility fees that can exceed the visit fee itself, turning a modest checkup into a two-part bill.
- –In-visit extras like rapid tests, ECGs, or injections each bill on top.
- –Chronic disease management means this visit recurs several times a year indefinitely, so its price is a recurring subscription in practice.
- –Telehealth versions bill the same code, sometimes with different plan cost sharing than in-person.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.What is my copay or the negotiated rate for a level-three established visit here?
- 2.Will anything done today, tests or injections, be billed on top of the visit?
- 3.Does this clinic charge a facility fee on office visits?
- 4.How many follow-ups per year should I expect for my condition, and can any be telehealth?
- 5.Is a telehealth visit cheaper under my plan than coming in?

Not on the physician fee schedule. West Virginia 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 $18 for the office physician line or $11 for the hospital physician line in West Virginia. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $90.10 is the Medicare physician allowed amount for CPT 99213. Anesthesia, facility fees, implants, and other CPT codes billed the same day are extra. West Virginia ranks #12 of 51 states on this physician line (5% below the national office rate of $95.19).
