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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Alaska 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. Alaska (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.

This provider reported total Medicare revenue of $523K and has no Medicaid billing on file, so operations are effectively single‑payer with Medicare representing the entire documented public-payor footprint. Analysts should treat the entity as Medicare-dependent rather than having a mixed Medicaid/Medicare payer mix.

Revenue is highly concentrated in breast imaging: the precomputed top‑3 Medicare codes (77067, 77063, 77065) together account for 72.6% of this provider's total Medicare revenue, indicating that a small set of screening and diagnostic mammography services drive the bulk of reported Medicare dollars. This concentration suggests financial performance will be tightly coupled to volumes and reimbursement for those specific mammography codes.

The code mix points to a specialty practice focused on breast imaging and image‑guided breast procedures: high-volume screening mammography (77067, 77063), diagnostic mammography (77065/77066), diagnostic digital breast tomosynthesis add-on (G0279), focused breast ultrasound (76642), and percutaneous breast biopsies (19083, 19081). Together these codes imply an operation configured for routine screening, tomosynthesis, targeted ultrasound, and onsite biopsy capability rather than a general radiology-only workflow.

On competitive standing, this provider is a national high-volume outlier for core breast imaging services: 77067 ranks #107 of 15198 providers nationally (99th percentile; extreme outlier) and 77063 ranks #99 of 14277 providers nationally (99th percentile; extreme outlier), with G0279 also at a 99th percentile extreme outlier. Those ranks indicate performance far above typical national volume for screening/tomosynthesis and position the provider as a major national participant for those codes.

Image‑guided biopsy and ultrasound volumes are also elevated relative to peers: 19083 ranks #124 of 3438 (96th percentile; notably above typical national volume) and 76642 ranks #126 of 9096 (99th percentile; extreme outlier), while 19081 is more typical at #186 of 1707 (88th percentile; typical, unremarkable). This mix shows the practice not only interprets screening studies but also delivers higher-than-typical procedural throughput for biopsies and focused breast ultrasound.

Outside breast imaging, the provider bills a range of routine and lower-revenue diagnostic studies—examples include CT abdomen/pelvis with contrast 74177 ($8.1K, 70 claims, rank #15491 of 23621, 34th percentile; typical), CT head 70450 ($4.1K, 105 claims, rank #13635 of 21092, 35th percentile; typical), and DXA 77080 ($5.8K, 416 claims, rank #1469 of 17308, 91th percentile; typical). These services represent secondary revenue lines with substantially smaller shares of total Medicare revenue compared with the breast-imaging core.

Tenure data show the NPI was enumerated on 2007-04-10 (~19 years ago), indicating an established presence in the market; combined with the concentrated code mix and high national ranks for mammography, this suggests a long-standing breast-imaging operation rather than a recent, transient billing pattern.

From an operational and payer-risk perspective, the absence of Medicaid billing and the top‑3 codes accounting for 72.6% of Medicare revenue means the practice’s financials are heavily exposed to Medicare demand and reimbursement trends for mammography and tomosynthesis. Any policy, referral, or volume shifts affecting 77067/77063/77065 could materially change revenue given that concentration, while ancillary modalities provide limited diversification.
