About these rates
About this rate table
- Source
- Negotiated or fee-schedule amounts published directly by payers in their machine-readable files.
- Rate shown
- Published commercial rate for subsequent hospital care, high level (99233).
- Method
- Eligible rates are grouped by payer and billing entity so the benchmarks use a consistent service and billing basis.
The state map uses one consistent Aetna reference series; it does not average already-aggregated payer values. The service-line table keeps unlike codes, settings, and billing units in separate comparisons.

Book a 20-min scoping call No trial or data preparation required.How these hospitalist rates are calculated
We start with negotiated or fee-schedule rates published in payer machine-readable files and included in the underlying professional hospitalist report. For each selected billing code, eligible records are grouped by payer and summarized as averages and percentile distributions.
- Rate sourceThe displayed amount is a negotiated professional hospitalist rate published in a payer machine-readable file, not a paid claim, billed charge, or hospital facility payment.
- CalculationNational values summarize eligible published records across available states. State views use records associated with the selected state, and averages are not weighted by inpatient volume, length of stay, or acuity.
- Provider entityNamed examples use payer-file NPI and TIN records and may represent a hospitalist group, staffing organization, health system, or other billing entity.
- Comparable ratesMatch the encounter type, service level, time threshold, professional billing context, payer product, and network. Hospital facility reimbursement remains separate.

How to interpret hospitalist rates
How to interpret the selected market and payer-published rates.
Which hospitalist services are included?
The report covers initial and subsequent hospital care, observation care, discharge management, critical care, prolonged services, and advance care planning.
Why are initial and subsequent care separated?
They describe different encounters and levels of work, so each code should be benchmarked against the same service.
Do these rates include the hospital facility payment?
No. These are professional negotiated or fee-schedule rates associated with hospitalist services.
How should observation, discharge, and time-based services be compared?
Use the exact encounter and time code. Observation, same-day admission and discharge, discharge management, critical care, and prolonged services represent different work and should remain separate.
How are named hospitalist providers selected?
The public table selects billing entities across each payer's published rate range. An entity may represent a hospitalist group, staffing organization, health system, or other contracted billing organization.
