Rate Benchmarks

What each state pays for the same procedure. Start from a code — no need to pick a state first.

High-spend codes billed in 20+ states

Restricted to widely-billed codes: a procedure billed in four states cannot tell you whether your rate is unusual.

Ranked by rate

Coverage differs across these states. Claims represent 44% of Montana’s Medicaid spending but only 9% of Oregon’s. A lower figure here may reflect what this dataset cannot see rather than what the state spends.

Average paid per claim is a ratio internal to the claims data, so unlike per-enrollee measures it needs no external denominator. It remains subject to one caveat: this extract carries no claim-type field, so fee-for-service claims and managed-care encounter records are mixed together, and states derive encounter amounts inconsistently. The coverage column indicates how much of each state’s program these claims represent.
