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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Georgia 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. Georgia (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.

Key Findings

DEAN STEPHENS is a long-tenured Rheumatology Physician in Savannah, GA, with an NPI enumerated since 2007-02-27 (~19 years ago), indicating nearly two decades of Medicare participation and clinical continuity in the specialty. This tenure supports experience in long-term biologic therapy management and outpatient infusions common in rheumatology practice.

This provider’s Medicare activity is the only payer mix on file: lifetime Medicare revenue is $2.7M and there is no Medicaid billing on file, making the practice effectively single-payer (Medicare) in the available data and suggesting limited or no participation in Medicaid-managed care or state fee-for-service programs.

Revenue is highly concentrated in a small set of injectable biologic codes: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 72.5% of this provider’s total Medicare revenue, indicating the practice’s business model is driven predominantly by physician-supervised administration of biologic therapies rather than by office evaluation-and-management alone.

J0129 (abatacept) is the single largest revenue driver at $1M (38.2% of Medicare revenue) and the provider ranks #47 of 1221 nationally (96th percentile), positioning him well above typical national volume for this drug and indicating a regional or practice-level specialty focus on abatacept infusions. This high rank and share imply substantial clinical throughput for rheumatoid arthritis or related autoimmune indications treated with abatacept.

J1602 (golimumab) contributes $663.1K (24.1% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #17 of 1041 nationally (98th percentile), another notable above-typical volume signal; combined with J0129, these two codes alone represent a dominant portion of the revenue mix and reflect consistent use of high-cost, physician-administered biologic infusions.

J9312 (rituximab) generates $277.2K (10.1% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #82 of 317 nationally (74th percentile), a typical/unremarkable volume relative to peers for that code; its presence alongside other biologics suggests treatment of a mix of autoimmune conditions where rituximab is indicated, but at a more modest scale compared with abatacept and golimumab.

Procedure and infusion support codes such as 96365 (initial IV infusion) and chemotherapy administration codes 96413/96415 appear in the top codes, with 96365 ranking #176 of 8873 (98th percentile) and 96413 at a typical percentile; this pattern confirms substantial in-office infusion operations and nursing/IV infrastructure to administer multi-drug biologic regimens.

Evaluation-and-management codes (99214, 99215, 99204, 99205) appear at low revenue shares relative to biologics, with 99214 contributing $48.2K (1.8% of Medicare revenue) and ranking in the 91st percentile by volume; this suggests that while office visits are part of the practice, they are a secondary revenue stream compared with drug administration.

Across the listed services the provider shows multiple instances labeled “notably above typical national volume” (J0129, J1602, 96365) indicating the practice is a regional high-volume administrator of specific infused biologics. At the same time, many lab and common outpatient codes rank in typical percentiles, which supports a focused infusion-centric rheumatology practice rather than a broad multispecialty outpatient clinic.
