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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Armed Forces Europe 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 Europe (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

The provider's top revenue-generating services are emergency and critical care evaluation-and-management codes—99285, 99291, and 99284—supplemented by routine EKG interpretation (93010). This code mix indicates the provider operates in an acute care or emergency-care role (for example ED shifts or on-call critical care coverage) rather than a typical outpatient family medicine panel, based on the clinical descriptions of those codes.

Revenue is highly concentrated: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 97.5% of this provider's total Medicare revenue. Individually, 99285 accounts for $35.8K (51.6%), 99291 accounts for $21.5K (31.0%), and 99284 accounts for $10.4K (15.0%), which together dominate the $69.5K lifetime Medicare revenue figure.

Payer mix is effectively single-payer: total Medicare revenue is $69.5K and there is no Medicaid billing on file. Because Medicaid is absent, the provider's Medicare performance drives virtually all public-payer visibility and financial exposure.

Despite a long NPI tenure (enumerated 2007-06-27 (~19 years ago)), the absolute Medicare revenue level is modest: $69.5K lifetime. That combination—longly enumerated but limited Medicare dollars—suggests intermittent or part-time Medicare-facing practice rather than a sustained, high-volume Medicare enterprise.

Competitive standing on key codes is modest but not anomalous: 99285 ranks #8089 of 61347 (87th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), 99291 ranks #10546 of 71290 (85th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), and 99284 ranks #12272 of 64306 (81th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume). In plain terms, the provider bills these ED/critical-care codes at volumes that place them above many peers but remain within the expected national range rather than indicating dominance or being an extreme outlier.

Ancillary service footprint is small in revenue but relatively active in encounters: 93010 shows 289 claims at $6 avg paid/claim for $1.7K (2.5% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #12414 of 50616 (75th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume). This pattern—many low-reimbursement EKG claims contributing little to total revenue—aligns with an acute-care workflow where high-acuity E/M codes drive dollars and routine diagnostics add volume.

Clinical-operations implication: with 99291 (critical care) representing $21.5K (31.0%) of Medicare revenue, a large share of revenue depends on time- and intensity-based critical-care services that require specific documentation of medical necessity and time spent. Analysts reviewing utilization, coding accuracy, or contract negotiations should prioritize records and documentation practices for 99291 and the other top ED/critical-care E/M codes.

For payer strategy and network planning, the provider should be treated as a Medicare-focused, ED/acute-care resource rather than a traditional Medicaid-serving family-medicine practice, given the absence of Medicaid billing and the heavy skew toward emergency/critical-care codes. That distinction affects attribution, risk contracting, and expectations around continuity-of-care metrics for payer/provider evaluations.

Medicare: Competitive Analysis & Benchmarks

How this provider's Medicare billing volume and revenue compare to other providers nationally and within its state, across 4 CPT/HCPCS codes. Note: this provider's state, "AE," is a US military postal designation for Armed Forces stationed in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Canada — not a traditional US state; the State panel below benchmarks against other providers coded under the same designation.
