Counts reflect the 2,079 of 2,569 imported cells we publish. We publish a benchmark only when at least 10 providers from at least 5 separately contracting groups (tax IDs) stand behind it, and no single group accounts for more than 25% of it.

The codes with the most distinct in-network providers behind them, with the number of separately contracting groups (tax IDs) in that benchmark. Each links to its rate page, where BCBSIL's negotiated benchmark appears next to the current Medicare amount.

Payers publish this data, and each dataset carries its month. A negotiated rate describes the contract, not the payment, and networks and plan designs vary. We publish a benchmark only when at least 10 providers from at least 5 separately contracting groups (tax IDs) stand behind it, and no single group accounts for more than 25% of it. See our methodology for how these benchmarks are derived.
