Provider WALID SABER is an interventional cardiology physician in Woonsocket, RI with long tenure; the NPI was enumerated on 2006-07-26 (≈20 years ago), indicating an established practice footprint that likely supports both outpatient vascular procedures and routine cardiology visits. The breadth of codes billed (from duplex ultrasounds to office E/Ms and procedure supervision codes) aligns with a clinician who combines diagnostic vascular services with clinic-based patient management and occasional invasive imaging supervision.
Medicare revenue is the dominant payer for this provider: total Medicare revenue is $323.2K versus total Medicaid revenue of $58K, so Medicare accounts for the majority of lifetime public-payer collections and shapes the provider’s service mix and financial profile. This gap indicates the practice generates substantially more income from Medicare beneficiaries than from Medicaid, suggesting either a Medicare-skewed patient panel or payer contracting patterns that concentrate revenue on the Medicare side.
Revenue concentration is meaningfully focused among a few procedure codes for each payer. Precomputed metrics show the top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 52.9% of Medicare revenue and the top 3 Medicaid codes account for 92.7% of Medicaid revenue, indicating Medicaid revenue is extremely concentrated in a handful of services while Medicare income, though still concentrated, is somewhat more diversified. For Medicaid this concentration implies operational dependency on a small set of services (notably 93970, 99214, 93971) to drive nearly all Medicaid receipts.
The provider appears to operate a vascular-focused service line driven by endovenous and duplex imaging procedures. On Medicare the largest single revenue driver is 36482 (venous chemical adhesive ablation) with $103.8K (32.1% of Medicare revenue) and strong utilization (75 claims, $1384 avg paid/claim). Complementary high-volume diagnostic codes 93880, 93970, and 93971 (duplex arterial and venous studies) further support a practice model centered on venous disease diagnosis and treatment combined with ultrasound-guided venous interventions.
Competitive standing by code shows mixed positioning: for Medicare, 93880 and 93971 are ’notably above typical’ and rank in the 94th–97th percentiles nationally, indicating the provider is a high-volume outlier for vascular duplex imaging relative to peers. In contrast, 36482 ranks at the 77th percentile (typical, unremarkable volume) and 36475 is only at the 41st percentile, so the practice is exceptionally strong on diagnostic ultrasound volume but more typical for some ablative procedures at the national level.
Within the state Medicaid market the provider is a major user of 93970 (complete bilateral venous duplex): 93970 accounts for 51.1% of this provider’s Medicaid revenue and the provider ranks #2 of 11 in-state (90th percentile), signaling a leading role statewide for that specific service. Other Medicaid codes such as 99214 also contribute meaningfully (28.3% of Medicaid revenue) but rank at a mid-range in-state percentile, so the practice pairs high-volume imaging with routine outpatient follow-up for Medicaid patients.
The mixed code profile—with very high volumes of low-paid routine EKG interpretation (93010: 1.6K Medicare claims, 97th percentile for that code nationally) alongside higher-paid ultrasound and venous intervention codes—suggests operational throughput emphasizing diagnostic testing and procedure visits. High counts of 93010 and ECG-related codes reflect substantial ancillary diagnostic throughput that complements the vascular procedure line and likely supports referral volume for interventional services.
Statistical outlier notes: several codes are explicitly identified as above-typical or notably above-typical in national ranking (for example, 93880 and 93971 are labeled notably above typical national volume; 93010 and 93971 appear in the high percentiles as well). These labels indicate the provider is an unusually active diagnostician in vascular ultrasound care relative to peers, while most E/M and inpatient visit codes fall in more typical percentile ranges, reflecting a focused intensity on vascular imaging rather than broad high-volume inpatient care.
