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 7% 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: Security Health Plan lists clinicians individually: 96% of the 42,805 provider IDs (NPIs) it names are individual doctors, nurse practitioners and therapists; the rest are practices, clinics and hospitals. “Providers” counts those IDs. Security Health Plan’s files name 20,958 providers for this procedure; 7,699 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 Security Health Plan's own network: for some plans it rents other networks (Aetna and First Health outside Wisconsin; The Alliance and Northwood). Those prices are set by those networks, so they are not included here.

vs Medicare
“x Medicare” compares each price with what original Medicare pays for the same lab test under its clinical laboratory fee schedule (26CLABQ4, in force from 2026-10-01): one national price, the same in every state. 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.
