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 Northern Mariana Islands for Medicaid) — rank 1 means the highest claims volume for that code.

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Northern Mariana Islands 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. Northern Mariana Islands (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

ASHEBIR CHEKOL is listed as an Internal Medicine Physician in SAIPAN, MP with an NPI enumerated on 2014-10-20 (about ~12 years ago). The provider’s public profile and taxonomy indicate a clinician-level practice rather than an institutional billing entity, which frames interpretation of the low claim and revenue counts below.

Lifetime Medicare revenue for this provider is $6.4K while there is no Medicaid billing on file; the record is effectively single-payer in scope from the claims data available. The absence of any Medicaid activity means analysts should treat Medicaid exposure as nil in this dataset and focus competitive and utilization analysis on Medicare flows.

Medicare revenue is highly concentrated: the precomputed top-3 Medicare codes account for 100.0% of this provider's total Medicare revenue. In practice the available data show a single dominant code driving all recorded Medicare dollars, which indicates revenue dependence on a very narrow service mix.

The dominant procedure is 99223, an initial hospital inpatient or observation care visit involving high medical decision making or at least 75 minutes of total time. This code mix signals the provider’s Medicare work is focused on inpatient/observation E/M encounters rather than outpatient office visits, procedures, or chronic disease management billed under different codes.

Code-level metrics for 99223 show 47 claims, $136 avg paid/claim, and $6.4K in revenue (100.0% of this provider’s Medicare revenue). Nationally this use of 99223 ranks #60228 of 139583 providers (56th percentile) and is characterized in the source data as a typical, unremarkable volume for the code, so the provider does not appear as a high-volume national outlier for this service.

From a competitive standing perspective, the provider is a modest participant on the national stage for 99223 rather than a dominant player; the 56th percentile and rank of #60228 indicate routine, not unusually high, utilization of this code. Given the small absolute volume and dollar totals, this clinician’s Medicare footprint is limited relative to peers who generate larger inpatient E/M volumes.

Operationally, the combination of low overall Medicare revenue ($6.4K), only 47 Medicare claims for the top code, and complete concentration in a small set of codes suggests revenue vulnerability—changes in inpatient admission patterns or billing practices could materially impact reported Medicare dollars. Payers and network managers should note the narrow service base when evaluating contract negotiations, utilization management, or capacity planning for the Saipan market.

Analysts should treat these findings cautiously due to data limits: the provider has no Medicaid billing on file, a very small Medicare revenue base, and only one listed Medicare CPT/HCPCS in the top-25 extract. For a fuller assessment of clinical roles, capacity, or non-Medicare revenue exposure, supplement this claims snapshot with local hospital affiliation, commercial payer data, or state licensure and facility records.
