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. (About 4% of these prices are facility fees instead, which can show up as unusually high prices.)

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.
Counties with fewer than five providers are not shown. A price
in a county with one or two providers would be those providers’ own price;
provider-level detail is not published here, but
this specific data can be requested here. A provider is placed in the county of
the practice address it registered with the federal NPI registry.
