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.
Who is counted: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona lists clinicians individually: 97% of the 20,838 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: These prices come from the file set every Blue plan publishes centrally for members of other Blue plans (BlueCard). It may leave out networks the plan publishes only on its own site. BCBS Arizona's own files, read here until October 2026, listed about a fifth as many providers. No emergency-room prices are in these files. Hospital stays: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona's files price whole hospital stays for only a handful of hospitals, so its hospital-stay maps show very few places.

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.
