Prices shown: surgery centers and hospital outpatient departments
Doctor’s fee or facility fee? These are facility fees: what the insurer pays the hospital or surgery center itself. The doctors who treat you bill separately, on top of it.
Who is counted: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming lists clinicians individually: 83% of the 10,432 provider IDs (NPIs) it names are individual doctors, nurse practitioners and therapists; the rest are practices, clinics and hospitals. “Providers” counts those IDs. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming’s files name 21 providers for this procedure; 17 are counted here: the clinicians whose specialty performs it — mostly Clinic/Center — and the practices, clinics and hospitals. Insurers attach their whole fee schedule to every contracted provider, so the rest are clinicians listed at a price for something they never do; counting them would inflate the provider count and pull the typical price towards the fee schedule’s floor.
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 Blue Shield of Wyoming, so they are not included here. Hospital stays: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming's files price whole hospital stays for only a handful of hospitals, so its hospital-stay maps show very few places.
