ALPINE SURGICENTER operates as an ambulatory surgical clinic with a strong orthopedic focus: its top Medicare revenue drivers are joint arthroplasty and major orthopedic procedures, led by 27447 (totaling $392.6K and representing 27.9% of this provider's total Medicare revenue), 27130 ($173.7K; 12.3%), and 23430 ($113.9K; 8.1%). The prevalence of high-revenue joint replacement codes indicates the center performs significant same-day or outpatient joint replacement and complex musculoskeletal surgery consistent with its Ambulatory Surgical Clinic/Center taxonomy.
Medicare revenue is concentrated: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 48.3% of the provider's Medicare revenue, with 27447 alone representing 27.9% of the Medicare total. This concentration signals reliance on a small number of high-cost orthopedic procedures to drive a large share of Medicare receipts.
On the Medicaid side the provider is effectively a prosthetic-implant hub: L8699 accounts for $946.9K in revenue from 745 claims and represents 99.9% of this provider's total Medicaid revenue, and it ranks #1 of 5 providers in-state (100th percentile). Medicaid billing is therefore overwhelmingly concentrated in prosthetic implant supply and related services rather than a broad mix of outpatient procedures.
Overall payer mix shows Medicare-scale revenue of $1.5M alongside Medicaid revenue of $948.3K, so Medicare is the larger single payer but Medicaid represents a material portion of lifetime revenue. The provider is not single-payer dependent; both Medicare and Medicaid meaningfully contribute to its revenue base.
Competitive standing on Medicare is a mixture of typical national participation and select above-typical volumes: 27447 ranks in the 72th percentile nationally (described as typical, unremarkable volume), 23430 ranks in the 87th percentile (typical, unremarkable volume but relatively high), while codes such as 29848 and 25447 are described as notably above typical national volume (95th percentile). In sum, the center is a modest national participant for major arthroplasty codes with pockets of higher-than-typical volume in select wrist/hand and endoscopic procedures.
Medicaid billing shows some anomalous payment records: codes 76942 and 64445 are listed with $0 avg paid/claim despite having claims reported, and 64415 shows a very low $9 avg paid/claim. These zero or near-zero payment entries may reflect state payment policy, bundled reimbursement, or data reporting artifacts rather than the absence of clinical activity, and they materially affect how Medicaid revenue appears in the file.
Beyond arthroplasty, the Medicare code mix includes arthroscopy, fracture fixation, nerve release, and spine/joint injections (examples include 29827, 25609, 64721, and 64483), indicating the center offers a broad outpatient orthopedic service line that spans operative procedures and interventional pain management. This diversified procedural portfolio aligns with typical ambulatory surgical center operations that combine surgical repair, joint procedures, and image-guided injections.
The provider has an established but relatively recent NPI tenure, enumerated on 2018-12-06 (~8 years ago), showing it built its current Medicare and Medicaid billing footprint within a recent multi-year window. Given the concentrated implant activity on Medicaid and the dedicated arthroplasty volume on Medicare, the center appears to have developed a focused orthopedic implant and outpatient surgery business in that timeframe.
