    Key Findings

    This provider reports no Medicare billing on file and a concentrated Medicaid footprint totaling $150.3M, making its commercial/Medicare exposure effectively nil and Medicaid the dominant (in practice, sole) source of fee‑for‑service revenue for the entity. Analysts should treat UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS MEDICAL BRANCH AT GALVESTON as a Medicaid‑dependent billing footprint for payer mix and utilization modeling because Medicare revenue is listed as none.

    Revenue concentration is very high across a small set of outpatient E/M and ED codes: the precomputed top 3 Medicaid codes together account for 60.7% of the provider's total Medicaid revenue. Those top contributors are 99213 ($56M, 45.1% of Medicaid revenue), 99283 ($11.3M, 9.1%), and 99284 ($8M, 6.4%), indicating a heavy reliance on ambulatory/ED evaluation and management services for Medicaid revenue.

    The code mix and volumes indicate a large ambulatory and emergency department operation: 99213 is the single largest revenue generator at $56M and the provider ranks as an extreme outlier in the state for this code, which signals an outsized outpatient visit volume relative to peers. High volumes in the nearby E/M codes 99212 (81.5K claims, $6.2M) and 99214 (67.9K claims, $6M) further reinforce a system that captures large numbers of established outpatient encounters in addition to ED visits.

    Competitive standing for key codes shows dominance in several statewide measures: 99213 ranks #2 of 6037 providers in-state and is described as an extreme outlier, and other E/M codes like 99212 and 99214 are also at the 100th percentile with extreme outlier labels. In contrast, the ED codes 99283 and 99284 are ranked in high but less extreme percentiles (99283 described as notably above typical, 99284 as typical/unremarkable), so the provider is a dominant outpatient visit player and a strong but not singular ED competitor.

    Lab and infectious‑disease testing is a prominent secondary service line: large volumes and high ranks for U0004 (68.5K claims, $5.3M; extreme outlier), 87502 (36.1K claims, $3.6M; extreme outlier), and multiple NAAT/STD/COVID codes (U0005, 87651, 87491, 87591, 87389) indicate substantial high‑throughput diagnostic capacity that contributes meaningfully to Medicaid revenue and suggests on‑site or closely affiliated lab capabilities.

    Obstetrics and fetal imaging are significant contributors: multiple ultrasound codes such as 76816 (22.9K claims, $2.7M), 76805 (11.8K claims, $1.4M), 76801 (9.5K claims, $1.1M), and 76817 (16.6K claims, $1.7M) all rank at or near top percentiles in-state with several labeled extreme outliers. This pattern points to a substantial maternal–fetal service line driving recurring imaging volume and revenue from Medicaid.

    Surgical and specialty procedures produce smaller but notable revenue pockets—42820 (tonsil/adenoid removal in <12) yields $2.1M despite only 451 claims because of a high avg paid/claim ($4639), and echocardiography codes such as 93303 and 93325 contribute meaningful single‑procedure revenues. These items indicate that while the core business is ambulatory/ED and lab/OB imaging, there are discrete inpatient/OR and specialty clinics adding supplemental procedural revenue.

    The provider has been enumerated with an NPI since 2006-04-25 (~20 years ago), indicating a long tenure in the market; combined with the statewide dominance on multiple outpatient and lab codes, this tenure supports a stable, established role as a Medicaid safety‑net and tertiary/referral center in the Galveston, TX area.
