State-level variation is significant: Kansas reports the lowest average payment at $815.26, while Michigan reports the highest at $1,560.80. Geographic Practice Cost Indices (GPCIs) explain much of that spread — local malpractice premiums, practice expense, and physician work adjustments all shift the allowed amount even when the procedure is identical.

Applying RAND 2024 commercial-to-Medicare ratios specific to the Cardiovascular Surgery category (2.24x), the estimated commercial insurance price lands near $3,116.16, with self-pay cash discounts commonly bringing the figure closer to $2,774.10.
