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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Iowa 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. Iowa (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

LINK ASSOCIATES is essentially a Medicaid-focused IDD community residential treatment provider with no Medicare billing on file; its lifetime Medicaid revenue is $83.3M and there are no Medicare revenues to compare, indicating the organization operates effectively as a single-payer (Medicaid) provider in scope.

Revenue concentration is high: the top three Medicaid codes account for 88.8% of the provider’s total Medicaid revenue, signaling reliance on a small set of service lines to drive most income.

The largest single revenue driver is S5136 (Companion care, adult; per diem), which produced $40.9M and represents 49.1% of this provider’s Medicaid revenue. This dominance indicates the organization’s business model heavily emphasizes per-diem companion care services for adults.

T2020 (Day habilitation, waiver; per diem) is also a major line with $15M in revenue (18.0% of Medicaid revenue) and the provider ranks #5 of 101 in-state (96th percentile), which the data labels an extreme outlier; this suggests the organization operates a substantially larger day habilitation program than most peers in Iowa.

H2016 (Comprehensive community support services, per diem) contributed $18.1M (21.7% of Medicaid revenue) and ranks #37 of 176 in-state (79th percentile). Its placement reflects a solid but not dominant share of this market segment, consistent with a provider offering a mix of community support in addition to companion care and day habilitation.

Several ancillary codes further characterize the service mix and operational footprint: T2003 (Non-emergency transportation; encounter/trip) generated $2.8M and ranks #1 of 23 providers in-state (100th percentile), indicating unusually high transportation activity relative to peers; H2025, H2015 and targeted case management codes provide smaller but meaningful contributions consistent with integrated community support and habilitation services.

The provider’s NPI was enumerated on 2007-01-26 (~19 years ago), indicating long tenure in the market which likely supports the scale seen in high-volume codes like S5136 and T2020. Longevity combined with concentrated service lines suggests an established operational model focused on high-volume per-diem care.

Competitive standing across key Medicaid codes is mixed: for S5136 and T2020 LINK ASSOCIATES is a top-tier in-state performer (S5136 at the 93th percentile, T2020 at the 96th percentile), while for H2016 and several time-based support codes it is closer to typical state volumes (79th percentile for H2016, various mid-percentiles for others), indicating dominance in some niches and modest participation in others.
