Do you know how much Medicare reimburses for the average office visit (say, a 99213) versus how much BCBS reimburses?

I do, well, sort of. I have both. Medicare pays first. I've only been on Medicare for a year so I don't have enough data yet to go back and work through the detail, but I have noticed that BCBS wasn't adding very much to the pot. I was surprised at that. When I have a firmer figure, I'll post it. The preliminary guestimate, though, is that I'm not costing BCBS much at all and my doctors aren't being enriched much at all.
