National Reimbursement Benchmarks
For CPT 01464, the BUCA commercial average sits at $93.60 and serves as a reference point within a varied commercial market. Blue Cross Blue Shield shows a relatively tight interquartile spread (P75–P25) of $44.10, while UnitedHealth Group is similarly constrained with a spread of $31.40; both indicate narrower mid‑range variability compared with other payers. Cigna’s spread is $61.0 and Aetna’s is $141.0, the latter reflecting the widest dispersion among listed payers and signaling substantial variability at the upper end of national commercial rates.
Comparing central tendencies, Cigna and Aetna have higher median and mean levels than Blue Cross Blue Shield and UnitedHealth Group, with BUCA’s mean falling between the major commercial plans at $93.60. The contrast in interquartile ranges — tightest for UnitedHealth Group and Blue Cross Blue Shield, widest for Aetna — highlights where commercial rate consistency is stronger versus where variability could affect expected reimbursement outcomes.
