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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to North Dakota 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. North Dakota (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

ISMAIL BEKDASH is an interventional cardiology physician based in FARGO, ND with total Medicare revenue of $227.1K and no Medicaid billing on file; his NPI was enumerated 2008-03-08 (~18 years ago), indicating an established practice and long tenure in Medicare billing. The absence of any Medicaid claims makes his Medicare business effectively single-payer for publicly reported encounters, which has implications for payer mix analysis and Medicaid-network planning.

Revenue concentration is notable: the provider’s top three Medicare codes (92928, 93458, 33361) together account for 38.9% of his total Medicare revenue. Individually those codes contribute $33.1K (92928, 14.6%), $30.6K (93458, 13.5%), and $24.4K (33361, 10.8%), signaling a material portion of income comes from a small set of interventional and imaging procedures.

The code mix signals a high-acuity, procedure-centered practice that performs coronary stenting and advanced structural interventions. High-revenue procedure codes include 92928 (coronary stent placement), 33361 (percutaneous aortic valve insertion/TAVR via femoral approach), and 33340 (left atrial appendage closure), while imaging supervision codes such as 93458 and multiple echocardiography codes indicate a combined cath-lab and advanced-imaging service line rather than a purely clinic-based practice.

Competitive standing varies by service: 93458 is an extreme outlier (ranks #108 of 7990 providers nationally, 99th percentile), indicating unusually high volume of imaging supervision/interpretation relative to national peers. 92928 ranks #238 of 5112 (95th percentile) and is described as notably above typical national volume, showing strong coronary intervention activity, whereas 33361 ranks #604 of 2679 (76th percentile) and is characterized as a typical, unremarkable volume for TAVR/TAVI.

Outpatient evaluation-and-management and procedural support are also significant revenue contributors: 99215 generated $23.2K (10.2% of Medicare revenue) across 239 claims and ranks #8803 of 145531 (94th percentile), indicating substantial high-complexity office/clinic work. Sedation/monitoring code 99152 appears at high relative volume (241 claims, ranks #528 of 19266, 97th percentile), which supports the picture of frequent invasive procedures requiring monitored anesthesia care.

Clinical support utilization shows routine diagnostic throughput alongside high-cost procedures: 93010 (ECG interpretation) appears 661 times generating $4K and ranks #6029 of 50616 (88th percentile), while multiple echocardiography codes (93306, 93312, 93350) appear across the top services, reinforcing that imaging and diagnostics are integrated into the procedural workflow. This combination suggests a practice that bundles procedural interventions with in-house imaging and diagnostic interpretation.

For payers and network planners, the absence of Medicaid claims means this provider will not contribute to Medicaid service volumes in-state, and any contracting or utilization management strategies should be focused on Medicare fee-for-service patterns. Given the concentration in a few high-revenue interventional and imaging codes, payers should prioritize medical necessity and site-of-service considerations around 93458 and 92928 when reviewing utilization for this NPI.
