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.
