Doctor’s fee or facility fee? These are facility fees: what the insurer pays the hospital or surgery center itself. The doctors who treat you bill separately, on top of it.
Who is counted: Sentara Health Plans lists clinicians individually: 97% of the 102,240 provider IDs (NPIs) it names are individual doctors, nurse practitioners and therapists; the rest are practices, clinics and hospitals. “Providers” counts those IDs. Sentara Health Plans’s files name 89,077 providers for this procedure; 41,288 are counted here: the clinicians whose specialty performs it — mostly Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant and Internal 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.

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 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. The prices on this map include a facility fee, which Medicare pays separately and which is not in its physician price, so the ratio here runs high and is a rough guide only.
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.
