2,098 distinct procedures filed
73 distinct payers
79,105 rate rows
2026-07-15 last MRF observed

57,008 of 79,105 rate rows are consumer-grade (72.1%)

22,097 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
percent-of-billed methodology on a DRG bundle — not comparable to case rates; shown as context only 13,887
per-diem day rate — not a per-procedure price 7,443
template filing: same amount across many unrelated codes — excluded 563
below 25% of the Medicare reference for this DRG — likely a mislabeled per-diem; excluded from rankings 204
