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 North Dakota for Medicaid) — rank 1 means the highest claims volume for that code.

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to North Dakota 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. North Dakota (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.

Key Findings

This provider is a dermatopathology (pathology) physician with an NPI enumerated 2014-04-09 (~12 years ago), indicating roughly a decade-long presence in Medicare billing records. The specialty and tenure support an established diagnostic pathology practice rather than an early-stage or transient biller.

Medicare dominates this provider’s payer footprint: lifetime Medicare revenue is $581.5K while there is no Medicaid billing on file, so the provider is effectively single-payer (Medicare) from the available claims data. Analysts should treat reimbursement and utilization patterns as Medicare-driven rather than reflecting a mixed payer strategy.

Revenue concentration is extremely high: the precomputed top three Medicare codes account for 96.8% of the provider’s total Medicare revenue. This indicates the practice’s income is tightly focused on a small set of pathology services, raising operational sensitivity to volume or reimbursement changes for those specific codes.

The largest single revenue driver is 88305 (16.5K claims, $28 avg paid/claim, $461.6K revenue; 78.0% of Medicare revenue). Nationally this provider ranks #110 of 14580 for 88305 (99th percentile) and is labeled an "extreme outlier," signaling dominant national-scale volume for level IV surgical pathology interpretation relative to peers and suggesting high throughput surgical pathology work.

The second major driver is 88342 (3.7K claims, $27 avg paid/claim, $99.5K revenue; 16.8% of Medicare revenue), where the provider ranks #44 of 11370 (100th percentile) and is also an "extreme outlier." This strong position on immunostain interpretation further characterizes the operation as a high-volume diagnostic and immunohistochemistry service.

Smaller but notable supporting codes include 88312 (603 claims, $20 avg paid/claim, $12.1K revenue; ranks #343 of 6966, 95th percentile) and 88304 (624 claims, $9 avg paid/claim, $5.6K revenue; ranks #96 of 8796, 99th percentile). 88312 is described as typical/unremarkable volume while 88304 is "notably above typical," which together suggest the practice performs a mix of higher- and mid-level surgical pathology tasks beyond its dominant codes.

Other listed codes (for example 88341, 88350, 88346) each contribute small shares of revenue and are characterized as typical or unremarkable volume in national rank percentiles; these items represent ancillary immunostain and special stain work but do not materially diversify the revenue base. Given the heavy concentration in 88305 and 88342, those ancillary codes likely support the core diagnostic workflows rather than represent distinct revenue streams.

Competitive standing: for its two top codes the provider is a national outlier (88305 and 88342 labeled "extreme outlier" at the 99th–100th percentiles), which positions the provider as a major national-volume contributor for those specific pathology services. Conversely, absence of Medicaid billing means there is no comparable in-state Medicaid footing to assess market share on the Medicaid side; the provider should be evaluated as a Medicare-focused high-volume dermatopathology practice.
