Sources and methodology

Averages calculated by PayerPrice from health plan price transparency files.

CMS price transparency requirements
Rate source
  • Each value is a negotiated professional radiology rate published in a payer machine-readable file
  • Not a claim, charge, or imaging facility payment.
Rate calculation
  • National figures use eligible published rate records across the country
  • State views use records tied to the selected state.
  • Averages are not weighted by study volume or modality mix.
  • The calculation targets the lowest and highest 2% of entity rates for removal, rounded down to whole entities.
  • Tied boundary values stay together, so fewer rates may be removed.
  • A payer, code and geography cohort is published only when at least 10 billing entities remain after trimming.
  • A missing benchmark does not mean the rate is zero.
Provider entity
  • Named examples use payer-file NPI and TIN records.
  • An entity may represent a radiology group, imaging center, health system, or another billing organization.
  • Each NPI and TIN combination contributes one representative rate: its most frequent normalized value.
  • When multiple values are equally frequent, those values are averaged.
Comparable rates
  • Match the exact code, modality, anatomy, views, contrast, professional, technical, or global component, site of service, payer product, and network.
  • Facility payments may be separate.
  • Benchmarks keep the payer, service code, geography, reporting period and billing unit separate.
  • Different services or payment units are not blended into one rate.

Published negotiated rates are not claim payments or a provider's verified contract.
