###
I don't know how much BCBS, or CMS, or Medicaid, or other payers pay for CPT.
It may be available somewhere on Google, but I couldn't find.
We do know top line, AMA FEES total $337M relative to budget of $400M.
##
Just looking at some google results physician fees are $20 per head, so with 1M physicians, that would be the first $20M. If that's correct, you would infer by the math that payer fees are most of their revenue.
By the way, easily found publicly, CAP has revenue of like $250M (not that much less than AMA at 400M) and CAP revenue is 95% clia fees.
##
No prices of PAYERS but some public links at the national AMA ASSN itself
