What the UnitedHealthcare data says
The UnitedHealthcare page is built for provider and RCM teams comparing out-of-network payment behavior under the No Surprises Act. A payer average can hide large swings by state and service code, so the tables focus on the combinations most likely to affect a claim file.
Use this page as a screen: if your disputed claims share the same payer, state, and code mix, the benchmark can tell you whether a deeper audit is worth time.
