What this means in dollars

At the median contracted rate, this code models a −$3,988 shortfall per $100,000 of acquisition-benchmark drug cost purchased — illustrative modeled margin exposure, not a claim about any single practice's actual reimbursement.

Based on 1,020 priced contract cells across 58 insurers and 52 states. These are insurers' contracted rates from published machine-readable files — not amounts actually paid on a claim, and not a guarantee of coverage or reimbursement.
