The 23x gap and what sits behind it. The page shows a 23x spread from lowest to highest, against a median of $50.80 across all 194 published Cigna rates for this procedure at these hospitals. The plan types beside the lowest rates read as commercial products, such as OAP All Commercial Plans and Cigna SureFit, so the low end does not appear to come from Medicaid, CHIP or Medicare Advantage plans. Even so, the plan behind a given rate is not always clear from the label, and many hospitals list rates under several plans.

Understanding Cigna Negotiated Rates
A negotiated rate is the price Cigna has agreed to pay a hospital for a specific service. This is not necessarily what you pay out of pocket. If you have met your annual deductible, you typically pay a copay or coinsurance percentage of the negotiated rate. If you have not met your deductible, you may owe the full negotiated rate.
The same insurer often negotiates different rates at different hospitals, and different plan types (HMO, PPO, high-deductible) within the same insurer can have different rates at the same hospital. The table above shows the range across all Cigna plan types at each facility.
Prices shown are facility fees only. You will also receive separate bills from the physician performing the procedure.
