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.

AHMED ABUZAID is effectively a Medicare-focused cardiovascular imaging and consultative practice: lifetime Medicare revenue totals $544.1K while there is no Medicaid billing on file, indicating the provider operates as a single-payer (Medicare) outpatient/hospital-based cardiology resource in Anchorage. The absence of Medicaid activity suggests limited participation in that payer program or a patient base concentrated in Medicare-eligible populations.

Revenue concentration is notable: the precomputed top three Medicare codes by revenue account for 45.5% of the provider's total Medicare revenue, indicating nearly half of Medicare income comes from a small set of high-value diagnostic imaging and echo codes. This concentration implies the practice depends heavily on a narrow set of procedures for its Medicare revenue.

Imaging and stress-testing services dominate the code mix: the top codes include 78492 (myocardial perfusion PET imaging), A9555 (Rubidium rb-82 radiopharmaceutical), and 93306 (complete transthoracic echocardiography). These selections, together with substantial utilization of MRI cardiac codes (75563, 75561), CT angiography (75574), and nuclear SPECT codes (78452, 78803), indicate the provider’s operations emphasize advanced noninvasive cardiac imaging and stress testing rather than procedural interventional cardiology.

Competitive standing on key imaging codes is mixed but generally modest-to-strong regionally: 78492 revenue ranks #374 of 926 providers nationally (59th percentile), A9555 ranks #499 of 1266 (60th percentile), and 93306 ranks #2549 of 24624 (90th percentile). The 90th-percentile ranking on 93306 signals a comparatively high volume of transthoracic echocardiography versus national peers, while the PET and rubidium imaging volumes are around typical/median national levels.

The provider’s utilization pattern shows both high-volume low-price EKG and evaluation codes and medium-volume high-price imaging codes: 93010 has 807 claims at $8 avg paid/claim ($6.5K total) indicating frequent low-revenue diagnostic ECGs, whereas individual imaging claims (e.g., 78492 at $1266 avg paid/claim and A9555 at $394 avg paid/claim) drive larger portions of revenue. This mix suggests the practice pairs routine cardiac surveillance with referral-based advanced diagnostic imaging.

Hospital and acute-care E/M services form a meaningful secondary revenue stream: codes 99233, 99232, and 99223 together represent active inpatient/observation care billing (178, 125, and 77 claims respectively) and account for modest shares of revenue. That pattern is consistent with a cardiologist who splits time between inpatient consults and outpatient diagnostic imaging.

Tenure in Medicare is long-standing: the provider’s NPI was enumerated on 2012-06-30 (~14 years ago), indicating an established presence in the market that aligns with sustained imaging and E/M volumes reported. This longevity supports the interpretation that current activity reflects an ongoing, stable referral and service pattern rather than a transient billing spike.

Statistical outliers and percentiles are mostly described as typical or unremarkable across the top codes, with a few higher-percentile placements: many top CPT/HCPCS entries are characterized as typical, unremarkable volume for the code, while 93306 and 75563 show notably higher relative volume (90th and 91th percentiles respectively). There are no extreme outlier flags in the supplied list, so overall activity fits within expected peer distributions aside from those elevated echo and cardiac MRI volumes.
