    Key Findings

    A BETTER WAY OF LIVING, INC. is enumerated under NPI since 2006-06-08 (~20 years ago) and is classified as an Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities Residential Treatment Facility based in ALBUQUERQUE, NM. Its long tenure suggests established participation in state Medicaid waiver and residential habilitation networks for developmental disability services.

    This provider reports no Medicare billing on file and $32.4M in lifetime Medicaid revenue, making its business effectively single-payer (Medicaid) in the available claims data. The absence of Medicare activity means analyses of competitive standing and revenue drivers must focus solely on Medicaid-coded services.

    Revenue is highly concentrated: the precomputed top 3 Medicaid codes (T2016, H2021, T2025) together account for 99.6% of the provider’s total Medicaid revenue. Specifically, T2016 contributes $23.9M (73.9%), H2021 contributes $6.4M (19.9%), and T2025 contributes $1.9M (5.9%) of Medicaid revenue, indicating a narrow set of service lines that drive nearly all billing.

    The code mix indicates a primarily residential habilitation operation supplemented by intensive community-based wrap-around and waiver services. T2016 (Habilitation, residential, waiver; per diem) dominates billing with 70K claims and an average paid/claim of $342, while H2021 (Community-based wrap-around services, per 15 minutes) generates substantial revenue with only 4.3K claims but a high $1502 avg paid/claim, and T2025 (Waiver services; nos) appears as a secondary waiver-related revenue source with 2.1K claims and a $910 avg paid/claim.

    Competitive standing across in-state peers is mixed but generally modest: T2016 ranks #14 of 40 providers (67th percentile; described as typical, unremarkable volume), indicating above-median presence but not dominance for residential habilitation. H2021 ranks #38 of 62 (39th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), placing the provider below the state median on wrap-around services, while T2025 ranks #12 of 35 (68th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), again reflecting an above-median but not leading position.

    There is a clear mismatch between claim volume and revenue per claim: T2016’s large volume (70K claims) produces the bulk of revenue ($23.9M) at a low average paid/claim ($342), whereas H2021 produces $6.4M of revenue from just 4.3K claims due to a much higher avg paid/claim ($1502). This suggests the provider’s revenue mix is driven both by high-volume per-diem residential billing and by a smaller number of high-paid, time-based wrap-around sessions.

    Service-line concentration creates operational exposure and strategic focus: with 99.6% of Medicaid revenue coming from the top three codes, changes in waiver policies, per-diem rates, or utilization patterns for T2016, H2021, or T2025 could materially affect overall revenue. The lack of Medicare billing further reduces payer diversification, amplifying sensitivity to Medicaid policy shifts.

    Ancillary services are minimal in the billing profile: S5125 (Attendant care services; per 15 minutes) accounts for $128.7K (0.4% of Medicaid revenue) across 229 claims and ranks #44 of 45 providers (2th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume). This indicates attendant care is a negligible revenue stream relative to the provider’s core residential and waiver services.
