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 District of Columbia for Medicaid) — rank 1 means the highest claims volume for that code.

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to District of Columbia 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. District of Columbia (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.

The Medicare and Medicaid tables are both single current snapshots, not refreshed on a recurring schedule yet.

Key Findings

This provider is effectively a single‑payer Medicare practice: lifetime Medicare revenue is $331.2K and there is no Medicaid billing on file. Absence of any Medicaid activity means payer mix is heavily concentrated on Medicare-covered services rather than dual Medicaid/Medicare flows.

Revenue concentration is high: the precomputed top‑3 Medicare codes account for 66.2% of the provider's total Medicare revenue. Those top three codes are 17110 ($90.7K, 27.4%), 99213 ($90K, 27.2%), and 17000 ($38.2K, 11.5%), indicating a small number of services drive most revenue.

The code mix indicates an office‑based dermatology practice focused on lesion destruction and evaluation/management visits: high volumes appear for destructive procedures (17110, 17000, 17003) alongside routine E/M visits (99213, 99203, 99212). Procedure counts such as 1.1K claims for 17110 and 1.5K claims for 99213, plus 3K claims for add‑on code 17003, support a workflow centered on diagnosis, biopsy, and same‑day or follow‑up lesion treatments.

17110 is a standout national outlier: 1.1K claims produced $90.7K (27.4% of Medicare revenue) and the code ranks #85 of 19650 providers nationally (100th percentile; extreme outlier). This suggests the provider performs far more lesion‑destruction procedures billed under 17110 than typical peers.

Evaluation and management visits are also unusually concentrated: 99213 generated 1.5K claims and $90K (27.2% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #2262 of 457151 providers nationally (100th percentile; extreme outlier). The combination of very high volumes for 99213 and substantive new‑patient visits (99203: 380 claims, $27.4K, 8.3%) points to a high patient throughput with frequent follow‑up and procedure visits.

Other procedure codes show mixed competitive positions: 17000 (1.1K claims, $38.2K, 11.5%) ranks #700 of 21879 providers (97th percentile; notably above typical), while biopsy and excision codes such as 11102 (321 claims, $20.5K) sit in more typical ranges (11102 rank #2799 of 18797, 85th percentile). This pattern indicates dominance in certain lesion‑destruction services while maintaining average volumes for diagnostic biopsies and excisions.

The provider's NPI was enumerated on 2007-04-14 (~19 years ago), indicating long tenure in the market. Extended registration time combined with the concentrated service mix is consistent with an established practice model that likely relies on repeat Medicare referrals and a steady procedural caseload.

From a contracting and operational viewpoint, the absence of Medicaid billing and concentration of revenue in a few high‑volume codes (17110, 99213, 17000) mean the practice has limited payer diversification and significant dependence on lesion‑destruction/E&M services for Medicare revenue. That profile is important for payers and network managers to consider when evaluating utilization patterns, capacity, and the impact of any fee or coverage changes affecting those specific codes.
