🤔 Is Hyaluronan or derivative, monovisc, for intra-articular injection, per dose Overpriced?

Based on the data, CPT J7327 shows a 1.0x variation in pricing across states — relatively consistent by Medicare standards.

Costs have decreased 23.4% since 2015. 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.
