171,069 of 279,822 rate rows are consumer-grade (61.1%)

108,753 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 100,357
percent-of-billed methodology on a DRG bundle — not comparable to case rates; shown as context only 5,349
per-diem day rate — not a per-procedure price 2,872
placeholder amount (≤ $0.02) — excluded from medians 123
exceeds 10× this hospital's gross charge — excluded from medians 45
below 25% of the Medicare reference for this DRG — likely a mislabeled per-diem; excluded from rankings 6
