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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to New Hampshire 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. New Hampshire (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

KENT HANDFIELD is effectively a Medicare-focused dermatology practice with Total Medicare revenue of $431.2K and no Medicaid billing on file; this makes the provider functionally single-payer in public programs and means Medicaid patterns cannot be analyzed from the available data. The provider’s NPI was enumerated ~20 years ago (2006-08-19), indicating long tenure in the Medicare program which supports established referral and billing processes.

Revenue concentration is high: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 55.6% of this provider’s total Medicare revenue. Those top codes are 99213 ($103.1K, 24.0%), 17110 ($77.8K, 18.1%), and 17000 ($58.1K, 13.5%), indicating the practice is heavily dependent on a small set of evaluation/management and lesion-destruction services.

The code mix signals a procedure-oriented dermatology practice that pairs high-volume office visits with extensive lesion destruction. High revenues from 99213 (established office visits) combined with large volumes and revenue from 17110 (destruction of benign lesions) and 17000 (destruction of premalignant lesions) suggest day-to-day operations are dominated by office-based lesion treatment and follow-up management rather than surgical excisions or intensive procedural dermatologic surgery.

Competitive standing by code shows national dominance for several high-volume items: 99213 ranks #1425 of 457151 providers (100th percentile) described as an extreme outlier, 17110 ranks #122 of 19650 providers (99th percentile, extreme outlier), and 17000 ranks #210 of 21879 providers (99th percentile, extreme outlier). These rankings indicate this provider delivers far higher-than-typical national volumes for these common dermatology services and is a major national outlier on those codes.

Several additional codes further underscore the practice’s procedural focus but with more typical volumes: 17003 (add-on premalignant lesion destruction) has 4.5K claims and ranks #448 of 19643 providers (98th percentile, notably above typical national volume), and J7308 (aminolevulinic acid) is at the 90th percentile. Those placements show the provider not only performs single-lesion treatments but also treats multiple lesions per encounter and uses photodynamic therapy adjuncts.

Visit-level mix shows a predominance of established-patient encounters: 99213 accounts for 1.7K claims and $103.1K revenue (24.0%), while higher-complexity visit codes such as 99214 and 99204 appear at much lower volumes (240 and 69 claims respectively). This suggests routine, high-throughput office workflows with fewer moderate-complexity visits.

Procedural breadth is focused on lesion management with limited complex excisions or reconstructive procedures: excision code 11603 and punch biopsy 11104 appear at low ranks and low revenue shares (each under 0.5% of Medicare revenue), indicating the practice emphasizes destruction and shave biopsy techniques (11102 with $23.2K, 5.4%) over larger excisions. That mix has implications for staffing, equipment, and referral patterns toward lesion destruction and in-office therapies.

The presence of certain codes at atypically high national ranks but other codes at typical or below-typical ranks suggests a high-volume, specialized pattern rather than broad-spectrum dermatology. For example, 99203 (new patient low-level visits) is an extreme outlier in volume (ranks #1086 of 161519, 99th percentile) while many surgical excision and repair codes sit in mid-to-low percentiles; this points to a steady inflow of new and established patients primarily for lesion evaluation and destruction rather than complex surgical services.
