> Does anyone know how to look up what Medicare/Medicaid pays for particular procedures

Medicaid is separate state-run programs with different reimbursement policies in each state, and othe common federal rules governing the state programs include provider-specific (both cost and charges to the general public) limits, so, there is no simple “what rate Medicaid pays” for any service.

(And that's even before considering that in some states, a substantial portion of Medicaid is provided by private insurers who are paid capitated rates, not fee-for-sercice, by the states.)
