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 Mississippi for Medicaid) — rank 1 means the highest claims volume for that code.

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Mississippi 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. Mississippi (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’s Medicare footprint is the only payer activity on file: Total Medicare revenue is $1.6M and there is no Medicaid billing on file, making the practice effectively single‑payer Medicare in scale. The absence of Medicaid claims means payer diversification is minimal and reimbursement exposure will be concentrated in Medicare policy and pricing for the services reported.

Revenue is extremely concentrated in a single code family: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 95.0% of this provider’s total Medicare revenue, with Q4262 alone representing $1.5M or 92.1% of Medicare revenue. That concentration indicates the provider’s financial performance is heavily dependent on a narrow set of services rather than a broad mix of evaluation-and-management or primary-care billing.

The CPT/HCPCS mix points to a wound-care and procedural practice model: high-volume Q4262 billing alongside multiple debridement codes (11043, 11047, 11044, 11042, 11046, 11045) suggests frequent use of an implantable/advanced wound product plus procedural debridement services. The presence of home-visit E/M codes such as 99349 and 99350 further indicates substantial outpatient or home-based wound management rather than a routine office-only primary care model.

Despite the dominance of Q4262 in revenue, the provider is not an outsized national leader on that specific code: Q4262 ranks #59 of 141 providers nationally (59th percentile) and is described as typical/unremarkable volume for that code. In other words, the provider’s large dollar share comes from heavy utilization of a high-value add-on code rather than from unusually high national market share for that procedure.

Home and residence visit E/M activity is present but not extreme: 99349 shows 357 claims and $27.1K revenue and ranks #2724 of 14284 providers nationally (81th percentile) with typical, unremarkable volume for the code. That ranking supports an operational model that includes field-based patient care, but the provider does not appear to be a dominant national outlier in home-visit E/M volume.

Office-based primary care E/M codes are low relative to national peers, consistent with a procedure-focused specialty profile. For example, 99204 ranks #208764 of 227068 providers nationally (4th percentile) and 99213 ranks #416873 of 457151 providers nationally (8th percentile), indicating comparatively limited billing for new and established office visits versus broader primary-care providers.

The provider has an established NPI history that supports continuity of practice: NPI enumerated on 2010-05-07 (~16 years ago). Long tenure combined with a concentrated procedural portfolio suggests an experienced, focused service line rather than a newly launched or broadly diversified practice.

Operational and revenue sensitivity should be noted because of reliance on one high-value code and lack of Medicaid activity. With $1.6M tied largely to Q4262 (92.1%) and no Medicaid revenue to offset payer shifts, changes in Medicare coverage, pricing, or utilization of Q4262 or associated debridement services could materially affect this provider’s Medicare revenue profile.
