Bands. Modeled: the national median billed charge for each procedure, scaled by the New Mexico geographic cost index (0.971 against a 1.000 national baseline), with the insurer-typical amount modeled at roughly 72 percent of area billed charges. Estimates, not quotes.
The Medicaid floor is the exact fee on the state schedule: the lowest rate a practice accepts for that procedure, and the anchor of the revenue spectrum. Insurer typical models what a commercial plan tends to allow, about 72 percent of area billed charges. Private-pay p50 and p90 are modeled billed-charge bands: the national median scaled by the state cost index, and the top of the usual range. Where a practice actually lands depends on its payer mix. The floor is owned data; the bands are estimates.
