Source & method
National amounts computed from the CMS Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q3 2026 release, GPCI 1.000, before the ~2% sequestration cut. This code list is our own clean-room grouping by common clinical scenario, not the AMA's code-family taxonomy. A code with no amount shown is either not separately payable under the PFS or was not in this release — never a fake $0.
