Medicare Carrier and Locality Lookup by Zip Code
This MDTool identifies the applicable Medicare carrier and locality for any postal zip code in the United States.
Note that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) occasionally changes a zip code's Medicare locality assignment.
Therefore, this utility is updated annually. The zip code/carrier-locality crosswalk is reported for each year, 2002-2019, so you can track these changes.
Per CMS, "a
fee schedule is a complete listing of fees used by Medicare to pay doctors or other providers/suppliers.
This comprehensive listing of fee maximums is used to reimburse a physician and/or other providers on
a fee-for-service basis. CMS develops fee schedules for physicians, ambulance services, clinical laboratory services,
and durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies."
