California publishes Medi-Cal rates [1]. Unfortunately, not all codes are explained, e.g., 99282 (according to the NY Times article, E.R. "examination and treatment of a patient with a finger fracture") and 99283 ("a narcotic painkiller was also prescribed") are both described as just "EMERGENCY DEPT VISIT". California also has a website comparing costs and quality for treatments across hospitals and regions [2].
