Reading it
What this distribution actually says.
The spread
The middle half of this market runs from $7 to $12, a 1.8x difference for the same procedure code in the same city. That gap is between contracts, not between quality.
Against Medicare
We do not hold a Medicare rate for this service in this state, so we do not show a comparison. The distribution above stands on its own.
The expensive end
One in ten filings sits at or above $14. If a plan's network is weighted toward that end, the difference does not show up in a premium quote. It shows up in the claims.
How wide the data runs
The carriers that filed for this procedure in this market. What each plan has agreed to pay, side by side. These are prices, not bills, so they do not show how often anyone needs it.
