    Key Findings

    MEDICAL UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL AUTHORITY is effectively a single-payer operation in the available data: there is no Medicare billing on file while Medicaid revenue totals $241.1M, which concentrates the observable payer mix entirely in Medicaid and limits comparisons to national Medicare peers. This absence of Medicare activity should be considered when benchmarking revenue or service mix against national acute-care hospitals that bill Medicare.

    Revenue concentration is high: the precomputed top 3 Medicaid codes by revenue account for 35.4% of this provider's total Medicaid revenue, indicating a heavy dependence on a small set of high-volume outpatient and lab E/M services to drive Medicaid receipts. In particular, 99212 alone generates $17.5M (12.5% of Medicaid revenue), demonstrating that low-complexity outpatient visits are a major revenue driver.

    The code mix indicates a broad hospital-based outpatient and diagnostic footprint: dominant codes include outpatient evaluation-and-management visits (99212, 99211), high-volume laboratory panels (80053, 80048, 80053 - CMP), routine phlebotomy (36415), and high-throughput infectious disease testing (U0003, 87491, 87637). This combination points to integrated ambulatory clinics plus large on-site lab capabilities rather than a narrow specialty clinic.

    The provider is a statewide market leader across many Medicaid codes: numerous top codes rank at #1 in-state and are labeled "extreme outlier" or similarly, including 99212 (rank #1 of 607 providers, 100th percentile), 80053 (rank #1 of 212, 100th percentile), 99211 (rank #1 of 267, 100th percentile), and 36415 (rank #1 of 713, 100th percentile). These rankings indicate the hospital is a dominant provider of routine outpatient visits, blood draws, and basic labs within South Carolina.

    Imaging and procedure-related revenue streams are meaningful and include high-cost contrast and radiotracer items: Q9967 accounts for $9.5M (6.8% of Medicaid revenue), A9585 $4.9M (3.5%), A9575 $4M (2.8%), and advanced imaging CPTs such as 70553 and 70551 each contribute multi-million dollar amounts. The presence of these codes with top in-state ranks suggests substantial MRI and contrast-based imaging capacity that complements outpatient clinic throughput.

    Infusion, injection, and infusion-sequence codes are also material—96372 ($6.8M, 4.9%), 96365 ($2.6M, 1.8%), and 96375 ($2.5M, 1.8%)—supporting the interpretation of significant ambulatory infusion or procedure clinics (e.g., therapy administration, IV infusions) operating alongside diagnostic services. Several of these codes rank at or near the top statewide, reinforcing that the provider is a major venue for these services in Medicaid.

    Clinical laboratory testing and pathology are high-volume contributors: comprehensive panels (80053), CMP/BMP variants (80048), blood bank screening (86850), surgical pathology (88305), and high-throughput infectious testing (U0003, 87491, 87637) together form a large, diversified lab revenue stream. Many of these codes are labeled "extreme outlier" or rank in the 98–100th percentiles in-state, indicating unusually large testing volume relative to peers and likely significant in-house lab infrastructure.

    The provider has long tenure in the NPI registry, enumerated 2006-12-21 (~20 years ago), which together with the large Medicaid footprint and multiple top in-state ranks suggests an established health system role in South Carolina for ambulatory, diagnostic, imaging, and infusion services. Analysts should note the combination of longevity and concentrated Medicaid revenue when assessing market strategy or capacity for payer negotiations.
