    Key Findings

    This provider is effectively single-payer in scope: Medicare billing shows none on file while lifetime Medicaid revenue is $30.9M. The absence of any Medicare revenue on file makes Medicaid the dominant and sole reported public payer exposure in the dataset.

    Revenue is highly concentrated: the precomputed top three Medicaid codes account for 57.4% of this provider's total Medicaid revenue. Those top contributors are 99283 ($6.6M revenue, 25.9% of total), 99284 ($6.1M revenue, 23.7% of total), and 99211 ($2M revenue, 7.8% of total), indicating a small set of codes drives the majority of Medicaid dollars.

    The code mix points to a strong emergency-department and acute-care orientation. High-volume ED E/M codes such as 99283 (80.1K claims, $83 avg paid/claim, $6.6M revenue), 99284 (68.5K claims, $89 avg paid/claim, $6.1M revenue), 99285 (11.6K claims, $103 avg paid/claim, $1.2M revenue) and 99282 (8.2K claims, $54 avg paid/claim, $442.1K revenue) together suggest the provider operates a busy ED with substantial observation-and-short-stay activity supported by G0378 (3.3K claims, $148 avg paid/claim, $481.1K revenue).

    Despite the ED focus, there is also an unusually large volume of very low-intensity outpatient encounters: 99211 appears as a major revenue driver (69.6K claims, $29 avg paid/claim, $2M revenue) and ranks as an extreme outlier in the state (rank #5 of 838, 100th percentile). This pattern is consistent with extensive triage, nursing visits, or high-volume clinic/ancillary encounters that generate many low-paid claims.

    Laboratory and imaging services form an important secondary revenue stream, with several high-volume test codes and chest x-ray codes present. Notable entries include 80053 (86.7K claims, $8 avg paid/claim, $693.3K revenue, rank #12 of 267), 85027 (84.7K claims, $5 avg paid/claim, $423.6K revenue, rank #2 of 122, 99th percentile, labeled an extreme outlier), 93005 (31.5K claims, $14 avg paid/claim, $440.6K revenue), and multiple nucleic acid/amplified probe infectious disease codes (for example, 87635 and 87798), which together indicate substantial throughput in basic lab and infectious-disease testing.

    On competitive standing within Louisiana Medicaid, the provider is a major statewide participant for several high-volume codes: 99283 ranks #12 of 266 (96th percentile) and 99284 ranks #23 of 266 (92th percentile), both described as notably above typical state volume. At the same time, higher-complexity ED care (99285) sits at a middle percentile (rank #89 of 237, 63th percentile), indicating strong mid-acuity volume but less dominance in the highest-complexity ED encounters.

    The provider has an established market presence, with NPI enumeration dated 2006-05-31 (~20 years ago). This tenure supports the observed high volumes and the provider’s entrenched role in delivering Medicaid-covered ED, outpatient and ancillary services in its local market.

    The combination of a Medicaid-only revenue base ($30.9M) and a heavy concentration of revenue in three codes (top three = 57.4%) suggests revenue sensitivity to changes in Medicaid policy or utilization patterns for ED and low-intensity outpatient encounters. Operationally, the provider’s mix—high ED volumes, high low-intensity visit counts, and large-scale lab/imaging throughput—points to a business model dependent on volume across a narrow set of high-frequency codes, which creates both scale advantages and concentration risk.
