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 Wisconsin the office and hospital physician lines for this CPT differ by $48.96.
National vs Wisconsin
Where Wisconsin ranks for this CPT
Office Visit (Established, Moderate-High) and how Wisconsin is priced
Wisconsin's Medicare pricing runs through a single statewide locality with indices near the national average, so Milwaukee, Madison, and the Northwoods share the same approved amounts. The unified locality sits atop one of the more regionally organized care systems in the country, with strong integrated groups serving defined territories. No metro premium exists in the fee schedule, so Milwaukee's higher practice costs are averaged into the statewide factors. The published rates here travel unchanged across all seventy-two counties.
Milwaukee and Madison hold the state's academic medicine and largest systems, while integrated clinics in Marshfield, La Crosse, and the Fox Valley have long histories of serving rural Wisconsin through hub-and-spoke networks. The far north is lake and forest country where specialty care means a long drive south, and some western residents use Twin Cities or Rochester, Minnesota providers. Wisconsin's tradition of clinic-based integrated care tends to keep billing relatively coordinated.
This procedure: This is an established-patient office visit of moderate complexity, a step above the routine check-in: managing multiple chronic conditions at once, adjusting medications with real risk, or evaluating a new problem that needs a workup. Billed by time it represents 30 to 39 minutes on the visit date. Over the last decade it has overtaken the level-three visit as the most common established-patient code in primary care, reflecting more complex visits and better documentation.

What Affects the Cost
- –It reimburses meaningfully more than 99213, and which of the two your visit becomes depends on documented complexity you cannot see from the waiting room.
- –Multi-condition patients land here repeatedly through the year, compounding the higher per-visit rate.
- –Facility fees at hospital-owned practices add a second charge to every visit at any level.
- –In-office tests, injections, or procedures stack as separate lines.
- –Specialist follow-ups at this level are priced above primary care equivalents in most charge masters.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.What determines whether my visit bills as level three or four, and what is the price difference for me?
- 2.During my deductible phase, what is the negotiated rate for this level here?
- 3.Will medication changes today push the visit to a higher level?
- 4.Are any of today's services billed separately from the visit code?
- 5.Can complex medication reviews be split across telehealth check-ins at lower cost?

Wisconsin is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 99214 is $129.57 in an office and $80.61 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Wisconsin 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 $26 for the office physician line or $16 for the hospital physician line in Wisconsin. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $129.57 is the Medicare physician allowed amount for CPT 99214. Anesthesia, facility fees, implants, and other CPT codes billed the same day are extra. Wisconsin ranks #14 of 51 states on this physician line (4% below the national office rate of $135.61).
