Market Grade bands the within-specialty percentile of the state's median multiple-of-Medicare across the specialty's 12 highest-presence anchored codes (cell floor: 20 verified points per code, 40 percent basket coverage, minimum 3 codes). It grades commercial rate richness only in this edition; it is not demand, not cost of living, not quality. Grades are frozen; no trend claims exist in an inaugural edition. Method.
Documented reimbursement figures are modeled, not guaranteed. Derived from federally mandated Transparency in Coverage data (45 CFR 147.212). No PHI.
A grade is a market. Your contracts are the move.
Every grade above is computed from real contracted rates, not survey answers. What your own payer mix pays against these markets is what the Mirror shows for any NPI, free.
