UCR reimbursements are based on typical provider fees in your geographic location (most likely by zip code). If an insurance company considers your fees usual, customary, and reasonable, you will be reimbursed. If your fees are higher than other providers in your area, you will be reimbursed up to the normal UCR amount.
