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: Regence BlueCross BlueShield lists clinicians individually: 99% of the 131,310 provider IDs (NPIs) it names are individual doctors, nurse practitioners and therapists; the rest are practices, clinics and hospitals. “Providers” counts those IDs. Regence BlueCross BlueShield’s files name 130,336 providers for this procedure; 54,714 are counted here: the clinicians whose specialty performs it — mostly Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant and Family Medicine — 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 Regence BlueCross BlueShield, so they are not included here.

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.
