Position by payer

Your median contracted rate vs the local peer median, per payer, for every payer we can score in Wheeling, WV-OH. Where a Blue Cross entity's label carries a state, that state names the file we found the rate in, not this practice's location. Blue Cross plans file separately per state and do not share rates, even for the same provider.
