This granular data empowers providers to:
– Refine their managed care and market access strategies: By understanding the full range of contracted rates for common services, providers can identify lucrative opportunities and target their efforts effectively.

– Interactive bubble charts: Gain a clear understanding of the distribution of rates for specific codes, highlighting outliers and trends.
– Monthly code updates: Stay informed about evolving reimbursement landscapes with the addition of new codes every month.
