The prices are derived from reimbursement rates negotiated with individual providers, according to the report. Thus, prices included in the database can vary widely.

A BCBSNC spokesperson said the goal of the database is to highlight low-cost, high-quality providers and drive down prices on the other end of the spectrum, according to the report.
