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.

Key Findings

ALASKA HEART INSTITUTE operates as an ambulatory surgical clinic/center with a clear electrophysiology and cardiac-device focus: its top revenue codes are device implantation and generator exchange procedures such as 33249 (16 claims, $21958 avg paid/claim, $351.3K revenue (31.3% of this provider's total Medicare revenue)), 33208 (39 claims, $6574 avg paid/claim, $256.4K revenue (22.8% of this provider's total Medicare revenue)), and 33229 (23 claims, $9772 avg paid/claim, $224.8K revenue (20.0% of this provider's total Medicare revenue)). The mix of ICD implantation, pacemaker insertion, and pulse-generator replacement points to a service line built around device implantation, replacements, and device monitoring in an outpatient surgical setting.

Revenue concentration is high: the top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 74.1% of this provider's total Medicare revenue, driving the majority of the reported $1.1M in lifetime Medicare revenue. This concentration means a large share of clinical and billing activity rests on a narrow set of device-related procedures rather than a broad mix of cardiology services.

The provider is effectively single-payer in the available public data: Total Medicare revenue is $1.1M while Total Medicaid revenue is none (no Medicaid billing on file). This lack of Medicaid billing on file makes the observed commercial/public payer mix heavily Medicare-weighted and limits comparison across payers.

Competitive standing is mixed by code: 33229 ranks #2 of 43 providers nationally (95th percentile; notably above typical national volume), indicating the provider is a high-volume outlier for complex pulse-generator replacements with three-chamber leads. Other top codes show more modest national standing — 33208 ranks #461 of 3026 (84th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), 33249 ranks #371 of 1011 (56th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), 33285 ranks #481 of 1716 (70th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), and 33228 ranks #175 of 911 (76th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume) — together suggesting a strong specialty niche for a subset of device work but otherwise typical volumes for many device procedures.

The provider’s procedures carry relatively high per-claim payments, which amplifies revenue from a modest number of cases: for example, 33249 shows $21958 avg paid/claim, 33229 shows $9772 avg paid/claim, and 33208 shows $6574 avg paid/claim. Given the claim counts reported (e.g., 16 claims for 33249, 23 claims for 33229, 39 claims for 33208), revenue is driven by a combination of mid-range procedure volume and high reimbursement per claim.

The procedural mix indicates both initial device implantation and longitudinal device management: 33208 (insertion of a permanent pacemaker) appears alongside generator removal/replacement codes 33229 and 33228, implying the clinic performs new implants as well as follow-up generator exchanges. That combination is consistent with a practice that manages patients across the device lifecycle rather than only episodic procedures.

The provider’s tenure (NPI enumerated 2013-01-28 (~13 years ago)) indicates an established outpatient operation; however, the lifetime Medicare revenue total of $1.1M suggests a focused, specialized clinic rather than a large regional cardiac center. Analysts should interpret scale as specialty-focused with concentrated device revenue rather than broad inpatient cardiology volume.

The absence of Medicaid billing on file (none below) has operational and access implications: it may reflect non-participation in Medicaid, a patient mix skewed to Medicare/privately insured beneficiaries, or limits in publicly available state billing data. This single-payer visibility can affect negotiations, referral patterns, and analyses that rely on Medicaid comparators within Alaska.
