Payers shown: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota
Prices shown: in-person office visits only
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 and Blue Shield of Minnesota lists clinicians individually: 90% of the 91,833 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 Minnesota, so they are not included here. Hospital stays: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota's files have no prices for whole hospital stays (the kind billed as one amount per stay), so there are no hospital-stay maps for it. It may pay hospitals by the day or as a share of their charges, which these maps cannot show.
