$244.50 local peer median. Florida Blue's published rate file lists a local peer median of $244.50 for CPT 99285 (Emergency dept visit, level 5) among 538 indexed providers in Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO. 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 $312, 28% above the median. A provider billed below this median is being paid less than peers holding the identical Florida Blue contract for the identical code. Modeled from published rates, not guaranteed.
