Payers shown: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana
Prices shown: hospital inpatient care
Doctor’s fee or facility fee? This is the hospital's own payment for the stay (the facility fee). Surgeons, anesthesiologists and other doctors bill separately, on top of it.
Who is counted: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana lists clinicians individually: 97% of the 32,392 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: Care outside its home state: Blue Cross Blue Shield plans share one national network, BlueCard, for members treated in other states. Those prices are published centrally, not by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana, so they are not included here.
