What it means
A fee schedule is a complete list of maximum reimbursement amounts that an insurance plan or government program (like Medicare) will pay for each specific medical service, identified by procedure code. Providers who participate in a network agree to accept these scheduled rates as payment in full (minus your cost-sharing). The Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) is a widely referenced public standard. Private insurers negotiate their own fee schedules with providers. For patients, the fee schedule effectively sets the allowed amount for each service. Knowing fee schedules can help you estimate your out-of-pocket costs before receiving care.
