123,546 of 188,415 rate rows are consumer-grade (65.6%)

64,869 rows are marked excluded from the consumer medians — these stay visible in the raw drill-down with the same reason shown here, so nothing is silently hidden.

Excluded — reasonRows
no usable negotiated amount (only an out-of-band fallback) — excluded from medians 64,785
percent-of-billed methodology on a DRG bundle — not comparable to case rates; shown as context only 51
placeholder amount (≤ $0.02) — excluded from medians 24
below 25% of the Medicare reference for this code — likely a mislabeled per-diem or placeholder; excluded from medians 9
