    Key Findings

    This provider’s billed footprint is effectively single-payer: total Medicare revenue is $221.5K and there is no Medicaid billing on file, so all documented public reimbursement is through Medicare. That concentration means payer-mix analysis and performance benchmarking should focus on Medicare populations and fee schedules rather than dual–payer dynamics.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in spine procedures: the precomputed top three Medicare codes (63047, 22612, 22614) account for 38.1% of this provider’s Medicare revenue. Those three codes — decompression and lumbar arthrodesis procedures — identify spine surgery as the primary revenue-driving service line.

    The code-level mix shows a surgical spine practice with both decompression and fusion work: 63047 ($33.3K, 15.0%), 22612 ($31K, 14.0%), 22614 ($20.3K, 9.1%) appear near the top of the revenue list, and related fusion/interbody codes such as 22558 ($17.3K), 22853 ($14.8K) and 22585 ($7.6K) are also present. This combination of laminectomy/foraminotomy, multi-level arthrodesis, anterior approaches, and interbody device placement points to a mix of lumbar-focused operative activity with both anterior and posterior techniques.

    Competitive standing on core spine codes is above average but not extreme: 63047 is listed at rank #357 of 4170 providers nationally (91th percentile) and described as "typical, unremarkable volume," while 22612 (rank #450 of 1984, 76th percentile) and 22614 (rank #687 of 2525, 72th percentile) are similarly labeled "typical, unremarkable volume." In short, this provider shows above-average national volume on several spine surgical codes but does not appear as a top national outlier.

    There is heterogeneity within the spine portfolio: certain instrumentation codes show relatively low national standing (for example, 22842 is at the 9th percentile and 22840 at the 0th percentile) while 22853 sits higher (88th percentile). This suggests a case mix skewed toward particular lumbar procedures and interbody work rather than high-volume multi‑segment posterior instrumentation or cervical instrumentation compared with national peers.

    Outpatient management and rehabilitation are a consistent part of the practice: the provider reports substantial E/M volume (99214: 232 claims, $20K; 99213: 296 claims, $18.4K) and high counts for therapy codes (97110: 419 claims, $8K; 97140: 252 claims, $4.3K). These encounters contribute meaningful patient throughput and indicate ongoing conservative care/rehabilitation pathways in parallel with surgical services.

    Despite the spine focus, the absolute Medicare revenue scale is modest: total Medicare revenue of $221.5K indicates a limited overall Medicare billing footprint for an orthopaedic surgery physician performing spine procedures. Combined with the absence of Medicaid revenue, this pattern characterizes the provider as a modest but specialized Medicare-focused participant rather than a large-volume regional spine center.

    The provider has an established tenure in the Medicare program, with NPI enumeration on 2007-01-02 (~19 years ago), which supports an interpretation of an established referral network and stable practice history for spine care. Tenure strengthens confidence that the observed code mix reflects a persistent clinical focus rather than a transient billing pattern.
