    Key Findings

    THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF ALABAMA is effectively a single-payer Medicaid provider: there is no Medicare revenue on file and lifetime Medicaid revenue is $59M, indicating the hospital’s public-pay mix is heavily concentrated in Medicaid rather than Medicare. Its NPI was enumerated on 2006-09-21 (~20 years ago), establishing a long tenure in the market that aligns with a mature, pediatric-focused facility.

    Revenue concentration is high: the precomputed top three Medicaid codes (G0463, 99283, 99284) account for 60.7% of this provider's total Medicaid revenue, showing that a few service lines drive the majority of billing. G0463 alone generates $21.9M (40.9% of Medicaid revenue), making outpatient clinic visits the dominant revenue source for this hospital.

    The code mix points to a large hospital-based pediatric ambulatory and emergency operation. Very high volume for G0463 (446.3K claims, $49 avg paid/claim) paired with heavy ED E/M activity across 99283 (141.2K claims, $44 avg paid/claim), 99284 (56.8K claims, $77 avg paid/claim), and 99282 (18.1K claims, $40 avg paid/claim) indicates extensive outpatient clinic throughput plus a high-volume pediatric emergency department handling low- to moderate-acuity visits.

    The hospital is a dominant statewide provider for multiple high-revenue codes. G0463 ranks #1 of 43 providers in-state (100th percentile; extreme outlier), 99283 ranks #2 of 230 (100th percentile; extreme outlier), and several procedural and dental codes such as 69436 and D9420 also appear at or near the top of state rankings, which collectively signal market leadership in pediatric outpatient, ED, ENT, and dental services.

    Surgical and procedure-heavy pediatric service lines are prominent: 69436 (tympanostomy with tube) accounts for $3.2M (6.1% of Medicaid revenue) with 23.9K claims and ranks #2 of 64 providers in-state (98th percentile; extreme outlier), and tonsil/adenoid procedures 42820 and 42830 also appear in the top codes. This pattern supports a high-volume pediatric ENT and ambulatory surgery practice alongside the hospital’s outpatient and ED volumes.

    Use of high-cost therapeutics and monitored-anesthesia dental services are notable but more concentrated: J1745 (infliximab) produces $3.6M (6.7% of Medicaid revenue) with 2K claims and ranks #1 of 2 providers in-state (100th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), while G0330 (dental rehabilitation with monitored anesthesia) yields $1.4M (2.5% of Medicaid revenue) and ranks #1 of 7 providers (100th percentile; notably above typical state volume). These entries suggest targeted specialty infusion and pediatric dental anesthesia programs that contribute materially to revenue despite smaller claim counts.

    Laboratory, imaging, and sleep services contribute across many smaller but meaningful codes: 80053, 85025, 95782, 70553, 87635 and 87633 appear in the top-25 list, each representing typical to above-typical state volumes and supporting a broad in-house diagnostic capability. The presence of high-cost lab codes like 81229 ($387.3K) and imaging codes like 70553 ($364.8K) indicate on-site genetic and advanced imaging services that complement clinical care.

    Overall competitive standing is that of a statewide pediatric leader with concentrated Medicaid revenue and extreme outlier volumes for core outpatient and ED codes. The combination of market-leading ranks (multiple #1 placements and 100th-percentile designations) and the fact that top codes account for 60.7% of Medicaid revenue implies the hospital operates as a major, high-throughput pediatric center in Alabama rather than a marginal participant.
