Payer-blind local peer percentiles per state, full verified distribution. Publication floor: 11 verified rate points and a non-degenerate spread; the P25–P75 band unlocks at 25 points, P90 at 100 (a smaller cell's P90 is one contract, not a statistic).
Documented reimbursement figures are modeled, not guaranteed. Derived from federally mandated Transparency in Coverage data (45 CFR 147.212). No PHI.
One code is a data point. Your contract is the story.
The spread above is payer-blind. Where your own contracts sit inside it, payer by payer and code by code, is what the Mirror shows for any NPI, free, in seconds.
