    Key Findings

    This provider reports Total Medicare revenue of $682.7K and has no Medicaid billing on file, making their Medicare business effectively the sole public-payer footprint on record. The absence of any Medicaid activity means analyses of payer mix, access for low-income populations, or Medicaid-driven service lines cannot be supported from the available claims data.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in a small set of Medicare codes: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 47.0% of this provider's total Medicare revenue. Those top three codes are 17311 ($164.6K, 25.5%), 77280 ($81.5K, 12.6%), and 99213 ($57.9K, 9.0%), which together drive nearly half of reported Medicare receipts and should be the focus for any revenue-risk or contract-negotiation review.

    The code mix shows a dual service profile centered on procedural dermatologic surgery and significant radiation-planning activity. High-revenue surgical oncology codes such as 17311 ($164.6K, 25.5%) and 17312 ($30.6K, 4.7%) indicate substantive Mohs micrographic surgery work, while the presence of planning and guidance codes 77280 ($81.5K, 12.6%), G6001 ($56.2K, 8.7%), 77401 ($11.9K, 1.8%), and 77427 ($9.6K, 1.5%) suggests the practice bills for radiation-simulation or guidance services alongside dermatologic procedures.

    The provider shows an unusually high volume of low-complexity office visits: 99213 appears 904 times for $57.9K in revenue ($64 avg paid/claim) and is labeled an "extreme outlier, far above typical national volume" (rank #8149 of 457151, 98th percentile). This pattern points to heavy outpatient follow-up or routine management activity in addition to procedure-based revenue, and it will materially influence per-visit revenue and throughput assumptions for the practice.

    Competitive standing is mixed across services: for Mohs surgery the provider ranks #997 of 2969 (66th percentile) and is described as "typical, unremarkable volume," indicating a modest-to-moderate market position for that procedure nationally. By contrast, simulation/planning code 77280 ranks #236 of 3348 (93th percentile) yet is also characterized as "typical, unremarkable volume" in the source, while 99213 is a clear national outlier (98th percentile), so the provider is much more prominent on routine E/M volume than on some procedure-level benchmarks.

    Procedural throughput beyond Mohs is notable: high counts for lesion biopsies and destruction codes—11102 (409 claims, $24.5K; rank in the 91th percentile) and 17000 (680 claims, $22.4K; rank in the 91th percentile)—plus 17003 (3K claims, $15.1K; 94th percentile) indicate steady, high-frequency lesion management. These line items reinforce that the practice operates with substantial procedural turnover typical of an active dermatology clinic, which has implications for staffing, pathology, and supply costs.

    A range of reconstructive and grafting procedures contribute meaningfully to revenue and reflect scope beyond routine office care: codes such as 13132 (120 claims, $23.4K), 15260 (29 claims, $23.2K), and 12032 (89 claims, $19.2K) show investment in intermediate/complex wound repair and full-thickness grafting. The financial weight of these reconstructive codes signals procedural capability that supports surgical dermatology referrals and may differentiate the provider from clinics focused solely on medical dermatology.

    The provider's NPI was enumerated on 2008-09-03 (~18 years ago), indicating an established tenure in the market. This longevity, combined with a concentrated Medicare revenue base and a prominent 99213 volume, suggests an entrenched outpatient practice pattern and an established referral or patient-follow-up pipeline that payers and network managers should consider when evaluating access, continuity, and contracting strategies.
