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 Armed Forces Pacific for Medicaid) — rank 1 means the highest claims volume for that code.

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Armed Forces Pacific 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. Armed Forces Pacific (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 listed as a Hand Occupational Therapist and the Medicare code mix supports a focused hand/upper-extremity therapy practice: the largest revenue driver is 97530, an activity-based therapeutic procedure used to improve functional performance, and the second code is 97018, paraffin wax therapy typically applied to joints or limbs. The combination of functional activity training and thermal modality billing suggests treatment of hand-specific functional deficits and use of paraffin as an adjunctive modality rather than a broad, multidisciplinary outpatient service line.

Medicare revenue is highly concentrated in a very small set of services: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 100.0% of the provider's Medicare revenue, with 97530 alone generating $1.9K (94.0% of total Medicare revenue) and 97018 contributing $123 (6.0% of total Medicare revenue). This concentration indicates the provider’s Medicare business is effectively dependent on a single dominant procedure type rather than a diversified portfolio of CPT codes.

In absolute scale the provider’s Medicare footprint is small: total Medicare revenue on file is $2.1K and there is no Medicaid billing on file, so this practice operates as essentially single-payer (Medicare-only) in the available claims record. The absence of any Medicaid billing suggests limited or no engagement with Medicaid populations, which is material for payer mix analysis and network contracting strategies.

Competitive standing for the top code 97530 is modest nationally: 97530 is reported as 72 claims, $27 avg paid/claim, $1.9K revenue and it ranks #56172 of 62717 (10th percentile), described as typical, unremarkable volume for this code. The secondary code 97018 similarly shows modest national participation — it ranks #576 of 736 providers nationally (21th percentile) and is labeled typical, unremarkable volume — neither code positions the provider as a major national competitor for these services.

The claim-level details point to a small-volume operation: 97530 appears on 72 claims with an average paid per claim of $27, while 97018 appears on 41 claims with an average paid per claim of $3. These per-claim payment levels and modest claim counts underscore that the provider’s Medicare revenue base is driven by routine therapy units rather than high-value or high-volume specialized procedures.

Tenure in the Medicare program is established: the NPI was enumerated on 2014-07-29 (~12 years ago), indicating the provider has been active in the national enrollment system for about a decade. That tenure may reflect an established practice presence, even if current billing volume and revenue on file are limited.

From a risk/quality-of-service lens, there are no statistical outliers in the available code set: both listed codes are explicitly characterized as typical, unremarkable volume for their respective national peer groups. The data therefore indicate consistent, routine billing patterns rather than anomalous spikes or atypical code mix issues that would warrant further immediate investigation.

How this provider's Medicare billing volume and revenue compare to other providers nationally and within its state, across 2 CPT/HCPCS codes. Note: this provider's state, "AP," is a US military postal designation for Armed Forces stationed in the Asia-Pacific region — not a traditional US state; the State panel below benchmarks against other providers coded under the same designation.
