    Key Findings

    This provider’s Medicare billing mix is concentrated in procedural dermatology consistent with the listed taxonomy (Dermatology Physician): high-volume shave excisions and lesion destruction dominate the caseload while surgical pathology is also material. Representative codes include 11313 (1.9K claims), 17004 (1.1K claims), and 88305 (6.8K claims), which together reflect a practice focused on minor skin surgery with routine submission of specimens for pathology review.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in a small set of Medicare codes: the precomputed top 3 codes by revenue account for 53.4% of this provider’s total Medicare revenue. Those top three are 11313 ($230.5K, 22.4%), 88305 ($175.6K, 17.1%), and 17004 ($142.9K, 13.9%), showing that a majority of the $1M in Medicare revenue is driven by a handful of procedural and pathology services.

    Several individual procedure codes show national dominance in volume for this specialty. Code 11313 ranks #1 of 49 (100th percentile; extreme outlier, far above typical national volume for this code), 11312 ranks #1 of 527 (100th percentile; extreme outlier), 11303 ranks #1 of 166 (100th percentile; extreme outlier), and 11308 ranks #2 of 122 (99th percentile; extreme outlier), indicating this provider performs shave excisions at volumes well above most peers nationally.

    Pathology work (88305) is an important part of revenue but is less extreme relative to peers: 88305 shows 6.8K claims and $175.6K revenue and is ranked #431 of 14580 providers nationally (97th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume). That combination—very high absolute specimen counts but a percentile labeled as typical—suggests that while pathology contributes materially to revenue it is a common downstream billing stream among dermatology peers rather than a unique outlier on its own.

    Operational throughput is evident from very large counts of small-unit and add-on codes that together add meaningful revenue: 17003 shows 7.5K claims at $5 avg paid/claim for $37.4K revenue (3.6%), and J7345 records 14K claims at $1 avg paid/claim for $14K revenue (1.4%). These volumes imply many individual lesion treatments per encounter and a high clinic throughput model where numerous low‑paid units aggregate into a nontrivial portion of total Medicare receipts.

    This provider is effectively single-payer in public programs: Total Medicare revenue is $1M while Total Medicaid revenue is none (no Medicaid billing on file). The lack of Medicaid billing means the practice’s public-payor exposure is concentrated in Medicare, which reduces Medicaid-related complexity but concentrates reimbursement and regulatory exposure on a single federal program.

    The provider’s NPI was enumerated 2005-07-14 (~21 years ago), indicating long tenure on the Medicare rolls. That multi-decade presence supports the view of an established, consistent billing profile and offers a longer historical window for trend or peer benchmarking analyses.

    The pattern of multiple codes labeled as statistical outliers (for example, extreme outlier for 11313, 17004, 11312, 11303 and 17003) combined with concentrated revenue in the top 3 codes suggests this is a highly specialized, procedure-heavy operation. For payers and analysts, this profile merits competitive benchmarking and operational review (referral sources, scheduling/capacity, specimen handling) to understand how this provider’s high-volume procedural mix compares to regional peers and to inform network, audit, or contracting decisions.
