Why are Medicare and Medicaid shown separately instead of combined?

They come from two different CMS data sources with no shared claim identifier, so they can't be reconciled into one number without double-counting or guessing. Every table and chart on this page keeps them fully separate.

Why is there no private/commercial revenue figure?

Private and commercial payer data comes from Transparency in Coverage files, which only publish negotiated rates — not claims or utilization volume. Without a volume figure, no revenue number can be computed for any provider from that data.

What does "Rank" mean in the Competitive Analysis & Benchmarks tables?

For a given CPT/HCPCS code, it's this provider's position by claims volume among all providers billing that same code at that geography level (State, National, or Northern Mariana Islands for Medicaid) — rank 1 means the highest claims volume for that code.

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Northern Mariana Islands only?

Medicaid is administered per-state with no single national fee schedule, so a state or national comparison the way Medicare has one isn't available. Northern Mariana Islands (this provider's own state) is the only grouping that's conceptually meaningful.

Why are the numbers rounded to the nearest 10?

To avoid implying more precision than the underlying data supports at a single-provider level. Ratios are kept precise since they're a relative comparison, not a volume or dollar figure.

How current is this data?

The Medicare and Medicaid tables are both single current snapshots, not refreshed on a recurring schedule yet.

Key Findings

This provider is an Anesthesiology Physician based in BALTIMORE, MP and the code mix is focused on anesthesia for upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures. The Medicare top codes reported (00731 and 00732) describe anesthesia services for endoscopic procedures including ERCP, which suggests the provider’s work is concentrated in endoscopy suites or ambulatory endoscopy settings rather than broad-spectrum anesthesia across many surgical specialties.

Revenue is highly concentrated into a very small set of anesthetic endoscopy services: the precomputed top-3 Medicare codes account for 100.0% of this provider’s total Medicare revenue. Specifically, code 00731 represents $3K of revenue (57.5% of the provider’s Medicare revenue) and code 00732 represents $2.2K (42.5%).

This provider’s payer mix is effectively single-payer with respect to public programs: total Medicare revenue is $5.3K while Medicaid is listed as none (no Medicaid billing on file), indicating there is no Medicaid-covered activity captured in the available records.

For code 00731 the provider reported 19 claims with an average paid per claim of $159 and ranks #21280 of 39088 providers nationally (42th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code). That ranking signals a modest, broadly typical presence nationally for anesthesia tied to this type of upper GI endoscopic procedure rather than a dominant market position.

For code 00732 the provider reported 11 claims with an average paid per claim of $203 and $2.2K revenue, and ranks #1135 of 1347 providers nationally (0th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code). This rank and the small claim count indicate very low national volume for ERCP anesthesia relative to peers and suggest the provider performs these procedures infrequently.

The provider has a long enrollment history (NPI enumerated 2007-02-13 (~19 years ago)), yet lifetime Medicare revenue is modest at $5.3K. The combination of long tenure and low cumulative Medicare billing is consistent with intermittent or part-time clinical activity, supplemental coverage arrangements, or a focused niche practice rather than a high-volume anesthesia group.

Taken together, the pattern—limited total Medicare revenue, no Medicaid billing, and near-total concentration in a small number of endoscopy-related anesthesia codes—suggests this provider operates in a narrowly defined service line (endoscopic anesthesia) with modest volume. These features should frame competitive or utilization analyses: expect limited market impact and few claims to analyze for utilization trends or provider-level benchmarking.
