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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Iowa 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. Iowa (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 billing pattern is consistent with a peripheral vascular/interventional cardiology practice that also treats venous disease: high-revenue procedure codes include 37231 and 37227 alongside multiple venous procedure codes such as 36465, 36475, 36466, and 36478, and diagnostic angiography codes (36245/36247/36248). The mix of endovascular, intravascular ultrasound add-on codes (37252/37253), and venous ablation/sclerotherapy codes indicates a practice organized around image‑guided peripheral interventions and targeted venous procedures rather than primary coronary work or general cardiology office visits alone.

Revenue is concentrated in a handful of Medicare codes: the precomputed top‑3 contribution shows the three highest‑revenue codes account for 42.4% of this provider’s total Medicare revenue, led by 37231 ($180.9K, 19.6%), 37227 ($135.4K, 14.6%), and 36465 ($76K, 8.2%). Those three codes together drive nearly half of the $931K total Medicare revenue on file, indicating focused procedural revenue streams.

Payer mix is effectively single‑payer Medicare: lifetime Medicare revenue is $931K and there is no Medicaid billing on file. This absence of Medicaid activity makes the provider reliant on Medicare reimbursement and network access for revenue growth and creates a concentrated payer exposure profile.

Competitive standing for the higher‑value endovascular codes is modest nationally: 37231 is described as "typical, unremarkable volume" (rank in the low‑30s percentile nationally) and 37227 likewise shows a typical, unremarkable national volume. Several other high‑dollar peripheral codes (37225, 37229) also sit at low national percentiles and are labeled "typical, unremarkable volume," suggesting this provider is not a dominant national outlier for those specific interventional procedures.

The provider shows notably above‑typical national volume for diagnostic duplex ultrasound and many evaluation visits: 93970 (duplex scan, bilateral) is labeled "notably above typical national volume" and 99213 (established office visits) is also labeled "notably above typical national volume," while 99205 (high‑complexity new patient visits) is similarly "notably above typical national volume." This pattern suggests substantial throughput of noninvasive vascular imaging and face‑to‑face evaluation, supporting both procedural referrals and clinic volume.

Operational detail in the code mix indicates image‑guided procedures and routine use of conscious sedation: presence of intravascular ultrasound add‑on codes 37252 and 37253 (reported for noncoronary vessels) points to frequent intraprocedural imaging during interventions, and anesthesia/monitoring codes 99152 and 99153 appear across many claims. Together these codes imply the provider performs procedural cases requiring in‑room monitoring and advanced imaging rather than exclusively office‑based care.

Revenue composition beyond the top three is diversified across many codes with smaller contributions: a high claim volume for 93970 (352 claims, $46.8K revenue) and 99213 (576 claims, $35.1K revenue) shows many lower‑paid services that still materially support total revenue, while numerous angiography and intravascular procedure codes each contribute single‑digit percentages. This spread reduces dependence on any single mid‑range procedure but maintains sensitivity to changes in procedural referral patterns and imaging utilization.

The provider has long enrollment tenure and an established presence in Medicare: NPI enumerated 2006-01-10 (~20 years ago), which, paired with $931K in lifetime Medicare revenue, indicates a sustained operational history in the Davenport, IA market. Tenure combined with the high volumes of diagnostic imaging and office visits suggests stable referral relationships and ongoing procedural throughput rather than a newly established practice.
