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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Oklahoma 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. Oklahoma (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

This provider’s code mix is consistent with an interventional pain practice that performs both high-acuity procedures and high-volume image-guided injections: notable procedural codes include vertebral augmentation codes 22513, 22514, and 22515 as well as a broad set of epidural, facet, and neurolytic procedures such as 62323, 64493, 64635, 64636 and 63650. The presence of high-average-paid surgical codes (22513 avg paid/claim $4031; 22514 avg paid/claim $4044) alongside numerous injection and radiofrequency codes indicates the operation delivers both operative spine interventions and clinic-based interventional pain services.

Revenue is concentrated in a small set of high-value and high-volume services: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes (22513, 62323, 22514) account for 42.4% of the provider’s total Medicare revenue. Individually those codes generate 18.5% (22513), 12.3% (62323), and 11.6% (22514) of Medicare revenue, showing a strong dependence on vertebral augmentation and transforaminal/epidural injection services.

Payer mix is effectively single-payer Medicare: lifetime Medicare revenue is $1.4M and there is no Medicaid billing on file. This absence of Medicaid activity means analyses of this provider’s commercial or Medicaid arrangements cannot be drawn from claims data on this record and the business is predominantly Medicare-facing.

The provider ranks as a national high-volume outlier on multiple procedure lines, indicating a competitive, specialized position rather than modest participation: 62323 ranks #7 of 7397 providers nationally (100th percentile; extreme outlier), 22513 ranks #7 of 302 providers (98th percentile; extreme outlier), and 62321 ranks #5 of 4493 providers (100th percentile; extreme outlier). Several additional codes tied to facet and transforaminal injections (64494 rank #8 of 5920; 64493 rank #73 of 7519 with 99th percentile) further support unusually large national volumes for image-guided injection work.

Drug administration and corticosteroid use are major throughput drivers: J1040 shows 1.1K claims ($10 avg paid/claim, $11.2K revenue) and ranks #14 of 8535 providers (100th percentile; extreme outlier), J1030 shows 1.7K claims ($6 avg paid/claim, $10.3K revenue) and ranks #23 of 12318 providers (100th percentile; extreme outlier), and J0702 shows 1.8K claims ($5 avg paid/claim, $8.8K revenue) and ranks #100 of 9282 providers (99th percentile; extreme outlier). These high claim counts for injectable corticosteroid products align with the large volumes of epidural and facet injection CPTs on file.

The practice shows both high procedural reimbursement per case and substantial procedure volume, a combination that implies access to facility or operating-room resources and procedural throughput: high avg paid/claim for vertebral augmentation (22513 $4031, 22514 $4044) coexists with many moderate-paid but high-count injection codes (62323 951 claims, $180 avg paid/claim; 64494 476 claims, $91 avg paid/claim). This mix typically reflects a clinic that schedules frequent image-guided injective care and also performs episodic higher-reimbursement spine interventions.

Outpatient evaluation-and-management activity indicates substantial patient throughput and new-patient intake: 99213 shows 702 claims ($55 avg paid/claim, $38.6K revenue) and 99203 shows 362 claims ($75 avg paid/claim, $27.2K revenue) with 99203 ranked #604 of 161519 providers nationally (100th percentile; extreme outlier). The combination of high counts for both established-visit and new-patient E/M codes suggests ongoing referral flow and repeat procedural scheduling rather than a purely episodic surgical practice.

The provider has an established enrollment history that supports observed volume: NPI enumerated 2009-05-27 (~17 years ago). Coupled with multiple top-percentile national ranks across specialized interventional codes, the tenure and coding profile are consistent with a long-standing, procedure-focused interventional pain practice with concentrated Medicare revenue sources.
