Where You Can Get Burned (Markup Traps)

- Commercial insurance median sits at 0.49× Fair BaseRate (0.7× Medicare), so insured patients should always compare the self-pay cash price before paying.
- Specialty infusion drugs (J-codes) average 1.1× Medicare — verify per-unit billing on itemized statements
