National Reimbursement Benchmarks
Commercial national benchmark rates for HCPCS G0300 concentrate around BUCA’s average commercial rate of $27.00, with notable dispersion among individual payers. Blue Cross Blue Shield shows the widest spread: P75 minus P25 equals $13.20 ($13.80 - $4.80), reflecting substantial variability in reimbursement; Cigna and UnitedHealth Group each present a much tighter interquartile range of $0.00 and $20.00 respectively (Cigna P75–P25 = $0.00; UnitedHealth Group P75–P25 = $20.00). Aetna’s interquartile range is $13.00 ($22.00 - $9.00), indicating moderate dispersion.
Median and mean positions vary across payers, with Cigna’s central tendency equal across quartiles at $20.90 and a relatively high mean of $44.90, while UnitedHealth Group’s median is $45.50 with a mean of $42.20, showing skewness toward higher values. Blue Cross Blue Shield’s median of $9.50 sits well below its $97.70 maximum, signaling outlier-driven upper-end payments. These contrasts highlight where commercial reimbursement is concentrated versus where upper-tail variability creates broader market spread.
