Across 109 of 109 CMS payment localities with a supported office rate, 98940 ranges from $24.96 in Arkansas to $34.82 in Alaska*. This is a geographic range, not an average.

The code’s RVUs stay the same in these comparisons. Geographic adjustments to work, practice expense and malpractice change the dollar amount. A city name alone may not identify the payment area for a service address.
