How we got these numbers
Every number on this page comes from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the agency that sets the fee. Where we show a total, we only add up the agency's own listed fees so you can see the full cost in one place. We do not add our own guesses and there is no calculator, because the government sets one price for everyone. Fees can change, so check the agency's website before you pay.
