National Reimbursement Benchmarks
National commercial reimbursement for CPT 89300 centers around BUCA’s average commercial benchmark of $16.7, positioning it above the means for Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealth Group but below Blue Cross Blue Shield’s broader high-end spread. Blue Cross Blue Shield shows the highest mean at $22.5 and the largest top-end outlier (max $68.8), indicating a heavier skew toward higher contracted rates relative to other national payers.
Dispersion measured by the interquartile range (P75 minus P25) is widest for Blue Cross Blue Shield at $6.5 ($23.8 − $17.3), reflecting the greatest variability among mid-range contracts, while Aetna is the tightest with a range of $4.3 ($8.5 − $4.2). Cigna and UnitedHealth Group have similar IQRs of $7.2 ($12.7 − $5.5) and $4.9 ($10.8 − $5.9) respectively, suggesting moderate variability around their medians compared with BUCA’s single average benchmark.
