Prices shown: emergency department visits
Doctor’s fee or facility fee? These are the emergency doctor's fees only. The hospital bills its own emergency-room facility fee on top, usually several times larger, and it is not included here.
Who is counted: Medical Mutual of Ohio lists clinicians individually: 98% of the 74,791 provider IDs (NPIs) it names are individual doctors, nurse practitioners and therapists; the rest are practices, clinics and hospitals. “Providers” counts those IDs. Medical Mutual of Ohio’s files name 2,869 providers for this procedure; 1,607 are counted here: the clinicians whose specialty performs it — mostly Physician Assistant, Nurse Practitioner and 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 Ohio: for some plans, Medical Mutual rents Cigna's national network. Those prices are Cigna's, and they are in this site's Cigna section, not here. Hospital stays: Medical Mutual of Ohio's files price whole hospital stays for only a handful of hospitals, so its hospital-stay maps show very few places.

“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 lower price a doctor is paid when a hospital or surgery center provides the room and equipment. 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.
