Data & benchmarking / TERM EXPLAINED
P75 — 75th Percentile
The reference at or below which approximately three quarters of comparable rate observations fall.
A dental practice example
A DSO explores P75 as one negotiation scenario rather than the assumed market price.
Why it matters for reimbursement
Higher percentiles can overstate feasible outcomes when samples mix products or networks.
What to verify
Use P75 only as a sensitivity case with evidence of market comparability.
FROM DEFINITION TO DECISION
Turn reimbursement questions into evidence.
