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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Maryland 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. Maryland (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 effectively single‑payer in the dataset: Total Medicare revenue: $3.6M and Total Medicaid revenue: none (no Medicaid billing on file). The absence of Medicaid billing on file indicates virtually all reported public-payer revenue is Medicare-based, concentrating payer exposure on Medicare reimbursement dynamics. NPI enumerated 2006-05-09 (~20 years ago) — showing long tenure and an established billing history with Medicare.

Revenue concentration is high: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 55.1% of this provider's total Medicare revenue. Those top codes are 37229 ($775.2K revenue, 22.2% of this provider's total Medicare revenue), 37227 ($613.9K revenue, 17.6% of this provider's total Medicare revenue), and 37225 ($532.5K revenue, 15.3% of this provider's total Medicare revenue), indicating more than half of Medicare dollars come from a small set of endovascular CPTs.

The code mix indicates a vascular surgery practice with a strong procedural focus on endovascular peripheral interventions and stent/angioplasty work: high-revenue procedural codes 37229, 37227, and 37225 dominate the revenue profile. Complementing those are multiple angiography and intravascular imaging/intervention codes (for example 37252 at $95.6K and 37226 at $232K), which together point to a practice model that combines high-cost interventional procedures with periprocedural imaging and device use.

This provider reports unusually high volume in noninvasive vascular diagnostics, suggesting an integrated diagnostic pipeline supporting the interventional practice: 93925 shows 1.3K claims and $253.6K revenue (7.3% of this provider's total Medicare revenue) and is labeled an extreme outlier, far above typical national volume for this code; 93880 shows 1K claims and $141.5K revenue (4.1%) and is also an extreme outlier; 93922 shows 1.3K claims and $71K revenue (2.0%) and is an extreme outlier as well. High duplex/physiology volumes likely reflect either a centralized vascular lab or a referral capture model that feeds procedural work.

Competitive standing varies by code: for the three top revenue drivers the provider ranks in the upper national tiers but not necessarily as the dominant national leader — 37229 ranks #58 of 603 providers (90th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code), 37227 ranks #25 of 363 providers (93th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code), and 37225 ranks #51 of 715 providers (93th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code). Conversely, several diagnostic and select procedure codes show market-leading intensity: 93925 ranks #13 of 10098 (100th percentile; extreme outlier, far above typical national volume for this code) and 93880 ranks #29 of 21316 (100th percentile; extreme outlier, far above typical national volume for this code), indicating the provider is a national outlier on diagnostic throughput while being a strong but not singular leader on higher-revenue interventional CPTs.

Dialysis-access and circuit intervention codes are present and meaningful to the mix: 36903 ($100.8K revenue, 28 claims) and related codes 36906 and 36902 appear in the top codes, which aligns with reported angiographic and stent activity around dialysis circuits. The presence of these codes suggests the practice performs maintenance and interventional work for dialysis access in addition to peripheral arterial interventions, diversifying procedural types within the vascular space.

The practice shows substantial office-based and outpatient follow-up volume alongside procedures: 99213 lists 891 claims and $59.7K revenue (1.7% of total Medicare revenue) and ranks as an extreme outlier, far above typical national volume for this code, while 99204 lists 211 claims and $27.9K revenue (0.8%) and is also an extreme outlier. This combination of high E/M throughput and procedural volume implies significant patient follow-up and referral management capacity, reinforcing a high-touch outpatient model that supports the interventional caseload.

Concentration and payer mix create both operational strengths and potential risks: with Top 3 codes accounting for 55.1% of Medicare revenue and no Medicaid billing on file, the provider captures concentrated revenue from a narrow set of high-cost vascular procedures and relies heavily on Medicare volume. That concentration is an operational strength if referral and diagnostic pipelines remain stable (supported by extreme outlier diagnostic volumes), but it also represents exposure to shifts in Medicare payment policy or referral patterns given the lack of Medicaid diversification.
