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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Arizona 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. Arizona (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

This provider is effectively single‑payer at the claims level: total Medicare revenue is $289.4K and there is no Medicaid billing on file, so Medicare drives the entire documented public‑payer footprint for this NPI. That concentration means analyses of utilization and revenue will be dominated by Medicare trends and peer comparisons rather than state Medicaid activity.

Revenue is highly concentrated in a small set of services: the top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 48.0% of this provider's total Medicare revenue. The single largest contributor is 99213 ($73.9K revenue, 25.5% of Medicare revenue), followed by 17000 ($36.7K, 12.7%) and 17110 ($28.5K, 9.8%), indicating a narrow set of high‑value lines driving nearly half of Medicare payments.

The code mix and fee profile point to a procedure‑heavy dermatology practice that couples office E&M with lesion treatment and diagnostics. High volumes and revenue for lesion destruction codes (17000, 17003) and biopsies (11102, 11104) along with excision codes like 11602/11642 and topical/photodynamic therapy items such as J7308 ($20.5K, 7.1%) and 96573 ($8.5K, 2.9%) indicate the practice performs a steady flow of both diagnostic biopsies and in‑office lesion treatments.

99213 volume is an outlier nationally: it registers 1.3K claims and ranks #3293 of 457151 providers (99th percentile; extreme outlier, far above typical national volume for this code), signaling unusually high office visit throughput for an established‑patient level. By contrast, several other common dermatology codes (for example 99214 at the 72th percentile and many wound‑repair codes clustering around typical percentiles) sit in normal national ranges, so the provider’s exceptional metric is concentrated in routine established‑patient visits.

Several procedural codes also show above‑average national standing for this specialty. 17000 ranks #788 of 21879 providers (96th percentile; notably above typical national volume for this code) and 11104 ranks #181 of 6872 providers (97th percentile; notably above typical national volume for this code), which together suggest competitive strength in lesion destruction and biopsy services relative to dermatology peers.

Operational detail: 17003 appears frequently by count (2.8K claims) but has a low average paid amount ($5 avg paid/claim) producing $14.1K revenue (4.9% of Medicare revenue), indicating many low‑unit add‑on lesion destruction entries accompany other encounter billing. This pattern is consistent with high throughput of multiple‑lesion treatments where per‑unit payments are small but aggregate procedural activity is meaningful.

Tenure and market presence: the NPI was enumerated on 2006-09-28 (~20 years ago), indicating an established enrollment history with Medicare. That longevity, combined with concentrated Medicare revenue and notable national ranks on several procedure codes, suggests an ongoing, stable clinical operation focused on outpatient dermatologic procedures.

The absence of Medicaid billing on file raises competitive and access considerations for payers and networks in Arizona: either the clinician does not participate in Medicaid, bills under a different entity for Medicaid work, or serves a Medicare‑predominant patient panel. For payer strategy, this means Medicaid networks should not rely on this NPI for broad access in Tucson, AZ, while Medicare product designs will need to account for this provider’s outsized role in certain dermatology services.
