    Key Findings

    This provider has reported $734.6K in lifetime Medicare revenue and no Medicaid billing on file, making its public claims footprint effectively single-payer (Medicare-only) at present. The precomputed metric shows the top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 91.8% of this provider's total Medicare revenue, indicating concentrated revenue sources rather than broad-based billing across many codes.

    Revenue concentration is extreme within Medicare: Q4217 alone accounts for $633.4K of Medicare revenue (86.3% of this provider's total Medicare revenue) across 565 claims at $1121 avg paid/claim. Because the top 3 codes together are precomputed to represent 91.8% of Medicare revenue, a small set of procedures drives the vast majority of the practice's billed Medicare dollars.

    Clinical and service-line profile points toward advanced wound care and procedural podiatry as the operational focus: the dominant code Q4217 (biologic wound product billed per cm2) and secondary procedural codes such as 15275 (skin substitute) and 11042 (surgical debridement) suggest routine use of biologic/wound products and operative wound management. Parallel volumes in office E&M codes 99213 (449 claims, $55 avg paid/claim) and 99214 (182 claims, $87 avg paid/claim) indicate a significant office-based follow-up and management component supporting procedural care.

    Despite Q4217 driving the majority of revenue, the provider's national competitive standing on that code is modest: Q4217 ranks #50 of 65 nationally (23th percentile) and is labeled in the dataset as typical, unremarkable volume for this code. In other words, high internal revenue concentration on Q4217 does not correspond to a dominant national market position for that code.

    Office visit activity is comparatively stronger on common E&M metrics: 99213 ranks #32513 of 457151 providers nationally (93th percentile) and 99214 ranks #164525 of 479517 providers nationally (66th percentile), both described as typical, unremarkable volume. This pattern is consistent with an office-based podiatry practice that pairs frequent routine visits with a narrower set of higher-revenue procedural interventions.

    The provider's professional tenure and specialty are established: NPI enumerated (registered) 2011-07-21 (~15 years ago) with taxonomy Foot & Ankle Surgery Podiatrist, indicating an experienced practitioner in a surgical podiatry niche. Given the modest lifetime Medicare revenue ($734.6K) and long enumeration date, this appears to be a small-to-midsize, established independent practice rather than a high-volume institutional operator.

    From a payer and business risk perspective, the combination of concentrated Medicare revenue (top 3 = 91.8%) and no Medicaid billing (none below) creates payer concentration risk: changes in utilization patterns, product coverage for Q4217, or Medicare reimbursement policy for biologic wound products could materially affect revenues. For payers or competitors evaluating this provider, the profile signals a procedure-heavy, wound-care–focused podiatry practice with limited payer diversification and modest national share on its highest-revenue code.
