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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Alaska 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. Alaska (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 billed Medicare footprint is small in absolute scale: Total Medicare revenue is $16K and there is no Medicaid billing on file, so the practice functions effectively as a single-payer Medicare biller rather than a dual-payer operation. The top three Medicare codes alone account for 84.1% of Medicare revenue, indicating heavy concentration in a narrow set of services.

The code mix points to an outpatient, musculoskeletal–focused practice model centered on evaluation-and-management visits plus plain radiography. The two highest-revenue codes are 99213 and 99203 (office/outpatient E/M for established and new patients), and the third is 72100 (lumbosacral spine X-rays), which together suggest routine clinic visits with frequent lumbar imaging rather than a procedure-heavy specialty practice.

Revenue concentration is pronounced: 99213 produces $8.1K (50.8% of this provider's total Medicare revenue), 99203 produces $3K (18.6%), and 72100 produces $2.4K (14.8%), and those top three codes together drive 84.1% of Medicare revenue. This high concentration suggests that shifts in outpatient visit volume or imaging utilization would meaningfully change the provider’s Medicare income profile.

Competitive standing on core E/M codes is modest and broadly typical: 99213 ranks #177259 of 457151 providers nationally (61th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code) and 99203 ranks #72527 of 161519 providers nationally (54th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code). Those ranks indicate the provider is not a high-volume national outlier for office visits but operates at an ordinary volume level relative to peers.

Imaging utilization shows a mixed competitive picture: 72100 ranks #5331 of 26330 providers nationally (79th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), placing the provider above many peers in lumbosacral spine X-ray use, while other plain radiograph codes (73564, 73502, 73030) sit much lower (10th, 9th, and 8th percentile ranges respectively), implying selective emphasis on lumbar imaging rather than broad, high-volume radiography across multiple joints. This pattern is consistent with focused back-pain evaluation rather than a generalized imaging practice.

Procedure and injection billing contribute only a small share of revenue and are low-volume relative to peers: 20610 produced $918 (5.7% of Medicare revenue) and ranks in the 10th percentile nationally, and J3301 produced $106 (0.7% of Medicare revenue) and ranks in the 39th percentile. These positions suggest occasional use of joint injections and steroid supply but not as a major revenue driver for this provider.

The provider has a long enrollment history but limited lifetime billing: NPI enumerated (registered): 2012-05-16 (~14 years ago), yet lifetime Medicare revenue totals only $16K. This combination signals an established registrant who either maintains a low clinical billing volume, practices in a setting where Medicare patients represent a small fraction of care, or bills under alternate group NPIs for most services.

From a payer network and contracting perspective, absence of any Medicaid billing on file (none below — this provider has no Medicaid billing on file) means the provider is effectively out of scope for Medicaid-focused network capacity; for payers targeting Medicaid populations this clinician would not materially expand in‑state Medicaid access based on the available billing record. For Medicare-focused analyses, the provider is a modest, narrowly focused ambulatory contributor concentrated in office E/M and lumbar imaging.
