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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Tennessee 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. Tennessee (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

CHEROKEE FARM ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY CENTER, LLC’s Medicare billing is dominated by major joint arthroplasty: code 27447 (knee replacement) accounts for $1.4M in revenue from 232 claims with an average paid/claim of $6205, and code 27130 (hip replacement) accounts for $739.8K from 116 claims with an average paid/claim of $6378. The presence of 27446 (reconstructive knee procedure) as the third-highest code ($173.5K from 28 claims, $6196 avg paid/claim) reinforces that lower-extremity joint replacement and reconstruction are the core service lines.

Revenue concentration is extremely high: the precomputed top-3 Medicare codes together account for 88.8% of this provider’s total Medicare revenue, and 27447 alone represents 54.3% of Medicare receipts. This level of concentration indicates the practice’s financial performance is heavily dependent on a narrow set of high-value arthroplasty procedures rather than a broad mix of outpatient services.

The provider’s payer mix is effectively single-payer at scale: lifetime Medicare revenue is $2.6M while there is no Medicaid billing on file (none). The absence of Medicaid activity suggests operational exposure to Medicare reimbursement trends and limited participation in state Medicaid volumes.

On competitive standing, CHEROKEE FARM is a nationally prominent outlier for its top arthroplasty codes: 27447 ranks #58 of 12089 providers (100th percentile; extreme outlier, far above typical national volume for this code) and 27130 ranks #124 of 8062 providers (98th percentile; extreme outlier). By contrast, 27446 ranks #104 of 450 providers (75th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), indicating exceptional strength specifically in primary knee and hip replacement rather than across all reconstructive knee procedures.

Beyond arthroplasty, the center bills a mix of arthroscopic and hand/wrist procedures at much smaller revenue shares: 29827 (shoulder rotator cuff repair) generated $87.5K from 54 claims ($1621 avg paid/claim) and ranks #153 of 3445 providers (95th percentile; notably above typical national volume), while 29848 (wrist endoscopy) produced $29.7K from 71 claims ($418 avg paid/claim). These ancillary procedure lines together account for modest portions of Medicare revenue and suggest the center maintains broader orthopedic capabilities besides joint replacement.

The provider’s taxonomy is Ambulatory Surgical Clinic/Center, and the claim mix—high-volume, high-dollar arthroplasty codes with avg paid/claim values of $6205, $6378, and $6196 for the top three codes—implies it is equipped for implant-based orthopedic surgery and perioperative care in an outpatient surgical setting. For payers and network planners, this profile signals a facility specialized in implant arthroplasty that may be a concentrated source for referral of Medicare joint replacement cases.

CHEROKEE FARM’s NPI was enumerated on 2021-10-13 (~5 years ago), so the provider achieved its current concentrated, high-revenue arthroplasty footprint within a relatively short operating window. Given the combination of recent enumeration and national outlier ranks for key codes, the center appears to have rapidly scaled a focused joint-replacement practice serving Medicare beneficiaries.
