Doctor’s fee or facility fee? These are doctors' fees for a visit in their own office. An independent practice usually charges nothing more, but a clinic owned by a hospital may add a separate facility fee — worth asking before you book. (About 1% of these prices are facility fees instead, which can show up as unusually high prices.) Where a state has both, the table and each state’s popup show the doctor’s fee and the facility fee side by side; their sum is a rough total for the visit, before anything else done during it.
Who is counted: Aetna lists clinicians individually: 85% of the 2,390,616 provider IDs (NPIs) it names are individual doctors, nurse practitioners and therapists; the rest are practices, clinics and hospitals. “Providers” counts those IDs.
Not on this map: Prices found in only some copies of a network: Aetna's files repeat themselves heavily, so each group of nearly identical files was read once, through one of its files. On the largest group (1,177 files) the files shared 98-99.9% of their prices; the rest is not shown. Plans that fit none of Aetna's named products: 19 of the files read serve plans whose names say no product, and their prices are shown under "Aetna (other plans)".

This is a statewide summary. Prices vary far more between towns and between practices than these medians suggest; zip-code and provider-level detail is not published here; this specific data can be requested here.
