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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Alaska 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. Alaska (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.

LINDA IRELAND’s Medicare billing is concentrated in cardiac imaging and diagnostic services, with the single largest revenue source being 78492 (myocardial perfusion PET) at $114.5K and 29.5% of total Medicare revenue. The top three Medicare codes together account for 60.3% of her Medicare revenue, indicating a practice model focused on advanced cardiac imaging and associated diagnostic procedures rather than broad-based primary care visits.

The provider appears effectively single‑payer at the available scale: Total Medicare revenue is $389.7K and there is no Medicaid billing on file, so Medicaid does not contribute to this clinician’s documented public-payer revenue stream. Analysts should treat this profile as Medicare‑dominated when assessing payer mix or negotiating rates.

Competitive standing on key imaging codes is modest to mid‑range nationally. For 78492 the provider ranks #337 of 926 (63th percentile) and for A9555 ranks #441 of 1266 (65th percentile), which the source labels as typical, unremarkable volumes — consistent with an established but not dominant regional provider of myocardial perfusion studies. By contrast, 93306 (2D transthoracic echo) is relatively higher in volume ranking (#3065 of 24624, 87th percentile) suggesting stronger throughput on routine echo imaging compared with many peers.

Procedure mix shows a combination of high-reimbursement, lower-claim-count imaging (e.g., 78492: 89 claims at $1,287 avg paid/claim) alongside high-frequency, low-dollar professional services (e.g., 93010: 875 claims at $8 avg paid/claim). This pattern is typical of a cardiovascular specialist who supervises and interprets diagnostic testing while also recording many brief EKGs and related interpretation services. Revenue per claim differentials underscore imaging as the primary revenue driver and monitoring/EKG codes as volume workhorses.

Tenure: the NPI was enumerated around 2006-07-13 (~20 years ago), indicating long-standing Medicare participation. That duration supports interpretation of the coding mix as a stable practice pattern rather than a transient or newly established service line. Long tenure increases confidence that observed code concentrations reflect sustained clinical focus.

Several codes show above‑typical national percentile placement for procedural volume, but none are characterized as extreme outliers. Examples include 93306 at the 87th percentile and 93010 at the 92th percentile (both labeled typical, unremarkable volume), which together suggest the provider reliably delivers common cardiology diagnostic services at volumes above many peers without being an extreme statistical outlier. These ranks imply market competitiveness for routine echo and EKG interpretation.

The provider bills both professional and technical components across imaging modalities (e.g., 93306 and 93351 have both components), and also uses tracer and contrast supplies (A9555, A9500, Q9957) and stress agents (J2785), indicating access to nuclear cardiology and stress testing infrastructure. This mix implies on-site or closely affiliated technical capability rather than purely consultative outpatient visits.

Operational risk and opportunity: with 60.3% of Medicare revenue coming from the top three codes, the practice is exposed to reimbursement or referral shifts affecting those specific services (myocardial perfusion PET, rubidium tracer supply, and transthoracic echo). For payers and network planners, this concentration flags that contracting decisions or utilization-management policies targeting cardiac imaging could materially change this provider’s Medicare revenue profile.
