$86.59 local peer median. Bcbs Nd's published rate file lists a local peer median of $86.59 for CPT 71046 (Chest X-ray, 2 views) among 205 indexed providers in Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI. Where a Blue Cross entity’s label carries a state, that state names the file we found the rate in, not the provider’s location. Blue Cross plans file separately per state and do not share rates, even for the same provider. The top of that filed distribution, the P90 target, is $86.59, which is the same as the median here: this payer's filed rates for this code cluster on one number, so the opportunity in this cell is reaching the median rather than exceeding it. A provider billed below this median is being paid less than peers holding the identical Bcbs Nd contract for the identical code. Modeled from published rates, not guaranteed.
