How to read this table
- Order. States are listed from the highest published rate to the lowest. No single unit is shared by 8 or more states for 93770, so the order is by published amount and is not a like-for-like rank.
- Medicaid rate. The most the state's fee-for-service program pays for one unit, as published. 23 of the 34 states list more than one rate for 93770, by modifier, provider type or setting; the table shows the one that matches the provider level and setting used across states, without add-ons.
- Unit. None of the 34 schedules prints a separate unit for 93770, so each amount is a flat payment for one service as the code defines it.
- Per hour. 93770 is not billed in time units in these states, so no hourly figure is shown.
- Managed-care plans. The rule the state sets for its plans on this rate. What each rule means is explained below.
- % of Medicare. No Medicare physician fee schedule amount is on file for 93770, so there is no percentage.
- Source and date. Each Source link opens the state's own document; “since” is the date the rate took effect.
Why 93770 rates differ between states
Published rates for 93770 run from $2.63 in Kansas to $27.38 in New Hampshire, a 10.4x gap in the same unit. Half the states pay more than the median of $7.14 and half pay less. The usual reasons for a spread like this in physician & professional rates:
- Some states pay physician services as a percentage of the Medicare fee schedule; others keep a schedule of their own that may not have been rebased for years.
- Modifiers such as professional or technical component, bilateral, multiple procedure and assistant at surgery change the amount paid, and states apply them with their own percentages.
- Many schedules pay differently by place of service (office versus facility) and by practitioner, and nurse practitioners and physician assistants are often paid a percentage of the physician amount.
Timing matters too. 14 states set the current rate for 93770 in 2026 or later, while 14 states still pay a rate that took effect in 2022 or earlier. A state that has not updated its rate in years will drift down the ranking as others raise theirs.
What managed-care plans pay for 93770
What a plan pays for 93770 is negotiated privately, but the state decides how much room there is to negotiate. Here is how the rules break down across the 34 states.
In 9 states, the published rate binds plans: a floor, a pass-through or a state-set rate. In 16 states, plans negotiate and the published rate is a benchmark or out-of-network default. The rule for the remaining 9 states is not classified yet.
- Plans negotiate; the published rate applies out of network (16 states). In-network rates can be above or below the published rate. The published rate is the benchmark both sides know, and the fallback if no contract is signed.
- Plans must pay at least the published rate (9 states). The published rate is your floor. Negotiate up from it, and if a plan pays less, the contract provision is the basis for a payment dispute.
Plan-negotiated rates are never estimated here. To see the rule and its citation for a particular state, open that state's managed-care page, for example New Hampshire managed care.
Units and billing for 93770
93770 is a CPT medicine code in the physician & professional line, billed mostly by physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other licensed practitioners. The medicine section runs from vaccines and psychiatry to dialysis, cardiology and therapy. Some of its codes are timed in 15-minute units, others are billed once per session or per test, so the unit matters more here than in most sections.
Physician-fee-schedule codes are billed per service: one unit is one occurrence unless the code itself is defined by time or quantity. Practitioners who are not physicians are often paid a reduced percentage of the published amount, so check the schedule for the reduction that applies to your provider type.
Before billing, confirm the rate, unit and any modifier with the state's current schedule or the plan: the amounts here are as published, not a guarantee of payment.
