    Key Findings

    This is a rheumatology physician in ALEXANDRIA, LA with a Medicare lifetime revenue of $1.1M and no Medicaid billing on file, making the provider effectively single‑payer (Medicare) in the available claims data. The provider’s NPI was enumerated 2005-08-25 (~21 years ago), indicating long tenure and an established billing history in the Medicare program.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in a few infused biologic drugs and related office visits: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 88.2% of total Medicare revenue, led by J1602 at $458K (41.9% of Medicare revenue) and J0129 at $409.7K (37.5% of Medicare revenue), with 99213 contributing $96K (8.8%). This concentration implies dependence on a small set of high-revenue codes rather than a broad mix of low‑value services.

    The code mix and high-paid drug lines point to an infusion/biologic service line: dominant codes J1602 (golimumab) and J0129 (abatacept) are injectable biologics and are complemented by infusion/administration codes such as 96413, 96401, 96415 and 96365. Together these codes suggest the practice operates an infusion-focused rheumatology workflow (administration of parenteral biologic therapies) rather than primarily office‑based procedures.

    Competitive standing for the top biologic is strong: J1602 ranks #55 of 1041 providers nationally (95th percentile) and is labeled notably above typical national volume, indicating this provider is a high‑volume national participant for golimumab infusions. J0129 is more modestly placed at rank #367 of 1221 (70th percentile), representing a typical-to-above-average volume for abatacept in the national peer set.

    Several administration and infusion codes are also elevated versus peers: 96413 is ranked #292 of 7514 providers (96th percentile) and described as notably above typical national volume, reinforcing that the provider delivers substantial infusion services rather than occasional injections. By contrast, numerous ancillary codes (e.g., J0897, 99214, 20610) are ranked in mid-percentiles and show typical, unremarkable volumes, indicating the practice’s activity is concentrated on biologic infusions rather than a wide array of procedural services.

    The practice’s payer mix is effectively Medicare-only in the available data—Medicaid shows none below and no Medicaid revenue is on file—so any analysis of access to Medicaid populations or state Medicaid contracting would be limited by the absence of claims. This Medicare dependence creates operational sensitivity to changes in Part B drug reimbursement and infusion administration policy for biologics.

    The presence of 99213 as a high-volume evaluation-and-management code (1.6K claims, $96K revenue; rank #1850 of 457151 providers nationally, 100th percentile, labeled an extreme outlier) indicates a heavy volume of routine established-patient visits in addition to infusion services. That combination (high E/M volume plus high biologic infusion volume) suggests the practice manages ongoing, longitudinal rheumatology care for a sizable Medicare panel, not just episodic infusions.

    Given that the top two drug codes (J1602 and J0129) together represent the largest shares of Medicare revenue and the top three codes account for 88.2% of Medicare revenue, the provider’s financial profile is concentrated and biologic-centric; payers and network planners should be aware that shifts in coverage, reimbursement, or drug utilization could disproportionately affect this provider’s revenue stream.
