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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Louisiana 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. Louisiana (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

This provider is highly focused on cardiac imaging and stress testing services: the top revenue codes are 78431 (PET myocardial imaging), A9555 (Rubidium rb-82 radiopharmaceutical), and 78452 (SPECT myocardial perfusion). Those codes alone account for 73.0% of the provider's Medicare revenue, indicating an operational model centered on nuclear cardiology and stress-imaging workflows rather than primarily outpatient general cardiology or primary care services.

Medicare is effectively the sole public-payer source in the dataset: lifetime Medicare revenue is $1.3M while there is no Medicaid billing on file. This makes the provider functionally single-payer in public programs, so analyses of payer risk or access should treat Medicare performance as the dominant reimbursement driver.

Revenue concentration is pronounced: the precomputed top-3 share of 73.0% shows most Medicare dollars are tied to a small set of high-value imaging and radiopharmaceutical claims. That concentration suggests financial exposure to changes in imaging reimbursement, radiopharmaceutical supply, or shifts in utilization of PET/SPECT stress testing.

Competitive standing by national rank varies across the top codes. For 78431 the provider ranks #46 of 1377 (97th percentile), positioning them among the higher-volume national performers for PET myocardial imaging. A9555 places them at #158 of 1266 (88th percentile), a strong but not dominant national presence for rubidium dosing. For 78452 they rank #586 of 14946 (96th percentile), indicating notably above-typical national volume for SPECT studies compared with peers.

Several adjunct and support codes also reflect high relative utilization of stress-testing and monitoring services: J2785 (regadenoson) appears as 1.8K claims and ranks #73 of 6388 providers (99th percentile; notably above typical), and 78434 and 78452 are both in high percentiles, reinforcing that pharmacologic stress and PET/SPECT combinations are a routine part of the practice. These patterns are consistent with a center running high throughput nuclear stress testing protocols.

Clinical procedural breadth includes some interventional and structural services but at much lower volume: codes such as 33340 (left atrial appendage closure), 92928 (PCI), 33361 (TAVR access), and 33418 (mitral repair) are present but each contributes 1.0% or less of Medicare revenue and show mid-to-low national ranks. This suggests the provider’s business mix emphasizes imaging over high-volume invasive interventional procedures.

Tenure in the Medicare program is long: the provider NPI was enumerated on 2008-05-15 (~18 years ago). That length of enrollment supports establishment of referral relationships and sustained imaging volume in the local market.

Several codes are statistical outliers relative to national peers: J2785 is labeled notably above typical volume (99th percentile) and 78452 is also described as notably above typical national volume (96th percentile). Other imaging and TEE codes such as 93312 (98th percentile) and 93320 (96th percentile) further highlight unusually high utilization of advanced echocardiography and nuclear cardiology compared with national peers.
