🤔 Is Rotary wing air mileage, per statute mile Overpriced?

Based on the data, CPT A0436 shows a 1.5x variation in pricing across states — moderate variation by Medicare standards.

Medicare's fee schedule attempts to standardize pricing, though some variation is expected due to geographic cost-of-living adjustments and practice expense differences.

This analysis is based on publicly available CMS data and does not account for patient complexity, comorbidities, or facility-specific factors that may justify pricing differences.
