Base rate by release · bars start at $0 · select a bar to compare

One bar per available release, ordered by effective date. Missing rates remain gaps. These comparisons hold the code, setting and locality identifiers constant; they do not isolate which policy or input caused a change.

Standard / non-QP conversion factor where applicable. Unmodified service, before claim-level adjustments. A missing or unsupported rate stays unavailable.

What a rate change tells you

The comparison holds the code, setting and payment-locality identifiers constant. Each release supplies its own RVUs, geographic indexes and conversion factor. A difference shows the combined result of those inputs; it does not identify a single policy cause.
