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. (About 1% of these prices are facility fees instead, which can show up as unusually high prices.) Where a state has both, the table and each state’s popup show the doctor’s fee and the facility fee side by side; their sum is a rough total for the visit, before anything else done during it.
Who is counted: HealthPartners lists clinicians individually: 91% of the 103,739 provider IDs (NPIs) it names are individual doctors, nurse practitioners and therapists; the rest are practices, clinics and hospitals. “Providers” counts those IDs. HealthPartners’s files name 96,093 providers for this procedure; 8,860 are counted here: the clinicians whose specialty performs it — mostly Diagnostic Radiology, Clinic/Center and Clinical Medical Laboratory — 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 HealthPartners' area: for some plans, HealthPartners rents Cigna's national network and the Midlands Choice network. Those prices are set by those networks, so they are not included here (Cigna's are in this site's Cigna section).

vs Medicare
“x Medicare” compares each price with what original Medicare pays a doctor for the same service in the same state under its physician fee schedule (RVU26D, in force from 2026-10-01) — the price for a doctor's own office. Insurers write their contracts as a share of Medicare, so 1.3x means the insurer pays 30% more than Medicare would; Medicare Advantage plans generally pay close to 1.0x.
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.
