How to read “% of Medicare”: Medicare’s payment is a hospital-specific benchmark built from CMS files — adjusted for local wages and case complexity, and roughly pegged to the cost of care. 300% means commercial plans pay triple that benchmark for the same care at the same hospital. The gap is negotiation, not quality. Full methodology →
