CPT 1160F is a temporary, administrative and miscellaneous code that the 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule does not price. Commercial payers may still reimburse it.
Medicare rates for this code are not published in the 2026 physician fee schedule.
A Medicare rate is not one number — it is several, combined. Here is what each part of the CPT 1160F rate above actually means.
Not every billing code is on the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. Many HCPCS codes — behavioral health, DMEPOS, and drugs billed under J or Q codes — are priced under a separate CMS fee schedule, paid at a state Medicaid rate, or reimbursed only by commercial payers.
Commercial payers negotiate their own rate for codes Medicare doesn't price, independent of any federal fee schedule. See what payers negotiate for 1160F.
