    Key Findings

    START CORPORATION has no Medicare billing on file and reports $45.3M in lifetime Medicaid revenue, making it effectively a single-payer (Medicaid) operation in the available claims data. Analysts should treat Medicaid as the dominant — and for practical purposes, sole — public payer for this entity when evaluating revenue risk and contracting exposure.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in three time-based community mental health codes: H0039 accounts for $30.1M (66.3%), H0036 accounts for $10.9M (24.0%), and H2017 accounts for $4.3M (9.5%), with the top three codes together representing 99.8% of the provider’s Medicaid revenue. This concentration indicates that a very small set of service lines drives nearly all reimbursement and that changes to coverage or rates for any of these codes would materially affect total revenue.

    The mix of dominant codes — H0039 (Assertive community treatment, per 15 minutes), H0036 (Community psychiatric supportive treatment, per 15 minutes), and H2017 (Psychosocial rehabilitation services, per 15 minutes) — describes an operation built around intensive, community-based, time-segmented behavioral health interventions rather than office-based E/M or long-form psychotherapy. The prevalence of per-15-minute billing suggests team-delivered, high-frequency contacts and outreach rather than traditional clinic visits.

    Payer-level unit economics vary sharply across the top codes: H0039 shows a much higher average paid/claim at $1020 versus $91 for H0036 and $56 for H2017, while claim volumes differ (H0036: 119.5K claims; H2017: 76.5K claims; H0039: 29.5K claims). This pattern implies the provider earns most dollars from fewer, higher-paid H0039 units alongside very large volumes of lower-paid H0036 and H2017 time units, which shapes staffing and operational workflows.

    In statewide competitive standing, START is an extreme outlier for H0036 (rank #7 of 461 providers in-state, 99th percentile), meaning its volume for community psychiatric supportive treatment is far above typical peers and effectively marks it as a major provider of that service in Louisiana. By contrast, its H0039 activity, while large in dollar terms, ranks #4 of 25 providers (88th percentile) and is described as typical/unremarkable for that code’s peer group size, so dominance is more pronounced in H0036 than H0039.

    H2017 performance is also notably above peers (rank #11 of 397 providers, 97th percentile), indicating the provider is a significant statewide player in psychosocial rehabilitation as well. Taken together with H0036’s outlier status, these rankings show START has carved substantial scale in community-based rehabilitation and supportive treatment lines relative to most in-state competitors.

    Other billings are negligible relative to the top three: e.g., 90791 generated $59.6K (0.1% of Medicaid revenue), 90853 generated $17.4K, and several common office/E/M codes (99213, 99214) report $0 average paid/claim in the dataset. This sparse billing for psychiatric evaluations, standard psychotherapy, and routine E/M further supports that START’s model emphasizes structured, per-interval community programs over traditional office-based mental health services.

    The provider has an NPI enumeration date of 2012-01-06 (~14 years ago), indicating over a decade of active enrollment in Medicare/Medicaid systems; this tenure supports the interpretation that the current service mix and scale are established rather than short-term anomalies. Given the long-standing Medicaid focus and concentrated revenue mix, payers and network planners should assess program capacity, rate sensitivity for the three dominant codes, and potential operational dependencies tied to time-based community interventions.
