CMS DMERC Fee Schedules
On the Fee Schedule download page, you can download the Medicare L-Codes in MS Excel format or ASCII Text. The files are in .ZIP compressed files, so you will need a utility to uncompress the files, like WinZIP 9.0 or similar. You will need to edit the tables if you want to limit the info to only Texas.
