Payers shown: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont
Prices shown: every in-person setting
Doctor’s fee or facility fee? These are doctors' (professional) fees only. If this is done in a hospital or surgery center, the facility bills its own fee on top — for the room, nurses and equipment — often larger than the doctor's. That fee is not included here.
Who is counted: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont lists clinicians individually: 97% of the 8,039 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. Hospital stays: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont's files price whole hospital stays for only a handful of hospitals, so its hospital-stay maps show very few places.
