    Key Findings

    Provider billing is effectively single-payer Medicare: lifetime Medicare revenue is $3.5M and there is no Medicaid billing on file, so Medicaid does not contribute to this provider’s revenue mix. This concentration means payer analysis and contract negotiation should focus on Medicare reimbursement and utilization patterns.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in a few biologic drug codes: the precomputed top three Medicare codes account for 53.9% of total Medicare revenue, led by J0129 at $777.8K (22.3%), J0717 at $716.8K (20.5%), and J0897 at $387.7K (11.1%). These three drug/infusion codes together drive the majority of the provider’s Medicare dollars, indicating drug administration is the primary revenue stream.

    Code mix and descriptions indicate an infusion- and biologic-focused rheumatology practice: the top codes are largely injectable biologics (J0129 abatacept, J0717 certolizumab pegol, J0897 denosumab) and additional biologics appear across the list (J3262, J9312, J1745, J1602). The presence of multiple IV/subcutaneous biologics plus chemotherapy administration codes suggests the provider operates an infusion-capable clinic that bills for drug supply and administration as a core service line.

    Competitive standing is mixed across specific drugs: J0717 ranks #40 of 848 providers nationally (95th percentile) and is described as notably above typical national volume, and J0897 ranks #244 of 10057 providers nationally (98th percentile) and is also notably above typical national volume. By contrast, J0129 ranks #99 of 1221 providers nationally (92th percentile) and is characterized as typical, unremarkable volume, so the provider is a high-volume national participant for some biologics while more typical for others.

    Several administration and evaluation codes are extreme or notable outliers versus peers: 96401 is an extreme outlier at the 99th percentile, 99205 is an extreme outlier at the 99th percentile, and 96413 is notably above typical national volume at the 96th percentile. These signals indicate unusually high volumes of parenteral/infusion administration and some high-complexity new-patient visits relative to national peers.

    E&M visits and clinic-level evaluation revenue represent a small share of totals: 99214 contributes $70.9K (2.0%) of Medicare revenue and ranks #14957 of 479517 providers nationally (97th percentile), showing above-typical volume for moderate-complexity follow-up visits while still accounting for a small fraction of overall revenue compared with biologic drug codes. This supports the interpretation that drug/infusion billing, not office visits, is the dominant revenue driver.

    Ancillary services and lab ordering support an infusion practice: phlebotomy 36415 ranks #891 of 86467 providers nationally (99th percentile) and lab codes such as 82565 rank #79 of 5066 providers nationally (98th percentile) and 85027 rank #195 of 7266 providers nationally (97th percentile). These high percentiles for specimen collection and common rheumatology labs indicate substantial on-site testing and monitoring accompanying infusions, though these items represent modest revenue shares.

    Provider tenure is long-standing: NPI enumerated 2006-01-25 (~20 years ago), consistent with an established referral base and operational stability. Combined with the concentration in biologic administration and the high national percentiles on several infusion and administration codes, this suggests a mature practice model centered on infusion-delivered therapies for rheumatologic indications.
