    Key Findings

    DRISCOLL CHILDRENS HOSPITAL is effectively a single-payer facility in the available data: it has no Medicare billing on file and reports $133.2M in lifetime Medicaid revenue, indicating Medicaid is the dominant and de facto sole public payer visible in these datasets. The lack of Medicare entries suggests the hospital operates primarily within pediatric lines of care where Medicaid is the primary payer population.

    Revenue concentration is high: the platform notes the top three Medicaid codes by revenue account for 34.7% of the provider’s total Medicaid revenue. This indicates a relatively concentrated revenue mix where a few high-volume or high-value pediatric services drive more than one-third of Medicaid receipts, increasing sensitivity to shifts in reimbursement or utilization for those specific services.

    The code mix and highest-revenue items point to core pediatric surgical, emergency, and outpatient services. High revenues are associated with office/outpatient E/M codes (99213, 99212), emergency department E/M codes (99284, 99283, 99285), and procedure-heavy entries like tympanostomy (69436) and tonsil/adenoid surgery (42820, 42830). Together these suggest the hospital runs a substantial ambulatory and ED practice for children plus a high-volume pediatric ENT and procedural surgery service line.

    Several codes show the hospital is a major in-state provider by volume. For example, 99212 (60.1K claims, $10.8M) ranks #9 of 1922 providers in-state and is labeled an extreme outlier, and 99213 (59.5K claims, $15.5M) ranks #89 of 6037 providers (99th percentile). These placements indicate the hospital is a top-tier pediatric outpatient/E/M provider in Texas and substantially above typical state volumes for common office visits.

    The hospital is also a notable emergency care provider for pediatric patients: 99284 (25.3K claims, $11M) ranks #75 of 714 providers (90th percentile) and 99283 (66K claims, $5M) ranks #24 of 732 providers (97th percentile). While some ED codes are described as typical for state volume, their combination with very high claim counts signals a large, busy pediatric ED that contributes materially to Medicaid revenue.

    Procedural and diagnostic specialty services further support a comprehensive pediatric hospital profile. High-revenue procedural codes include 69436 tympanostomy ($6M, rank #7/125), 42820 tonsil/adenoidectomy ($5.7M, rank #6/107), and cardiac imaging such as 93303 ($5.5M, rank #22/73) and 93306 ($2.6M, rank #43/410). These ranks at or above the 70th–95th percentiles show the hospital maintains strong specialty throughput in ENT and pediatric cardiology relative to in-state peers.

    Laboratory and imaging volumes are substantial and supportive of large ambulatory and inpatient throughput: high claim counts for rapid infectious testing (87804, 24.5K claims), comprehensive labs (80053, 24.1K claims), EKGs (93005, 12K claims), and newborn/diagnostic imaging (72082, 2.5K claims) collectively indicate robust ancillary service utilization that complements the hospital’s clinical volumes. These items also appear in high in-state percentiles, underscoring scale across multiple service domains.

    The provider’s NPI was enumerated ~20 years ago (2006-07-15), indicating long tenure in the market. Combined with consistent high-percentile rankings across many pediatric E/M, procedural, and diagnostic codes, this longevity supports the interpretation that DRISCOLL CHILDRENS HOSPITAL is an established regional pediatric referral and care hub for Medicaid populations in Texas.
