2026 GPCIs for Rest of Maine

2026 geographic practice cost indices for Medicare locality 14112-99
ComponentGPCIvs national 1.000
Work (physician time and effort)1.000+0.0%
Practice expense (staff, rent, equipment, supplies)0.920-8.0%
Malpractice (professional liability insurance)0.622-37.8%
Geographic adjustment factor (weighted)0.948-5.2%

A fee schedule amount here is [(work RVU x 1.000) + (practice expense RVU x 0.920) + (malpractice RVU x 0.622)] x the conversion factor. The practice expense index weighs most on office services, whose non-facility practice expense RVU carries the practice's overhead, while the work index weighs most on surgery and other physician-intensive services. The work index sits on the 1.0 floor that Congress extended through January 1, 2027; without it the index here would be lower.
