    Key Findings

    NORTHERN COUNTIES HEALTH CARE, INC. shows no Medicare billing on file and reports $3.4M in lifetime Medicaid revenue, making it effectively a Medicaid‑dependent billing entity rather than a dual‑payer operation. Its NPI was enumerated on 2007-03-23 (~19 years ago), indicating a long‑standing FQHC presence in the ST JOHNSBURY, VT market.

    Revenue is extremely concentrated: the precomputed top 3 Medicaid codes account for 99.8% of this provider's total Medicaid revenue, with T1015 alone accounting for the vast majority. T1015 appears as 20.7K claims, $162 avg paid/claim, $3.4M revenue (98.1% of this provider's total Medicaid revenue), while the next two codes are much smaller contributors (G0467: 2K claims, $27 avg paid/claim, $52.8K revenue (1.5%); 80305: 457 claims, $12 avg paid/claim, $5.5K revenue (0.2%)).

    The code mix and top revenue drivers point to a classic FQHC ambulatory model: T1015 (clinic visit/encounter, all-inclusive) and G0467 (FQHC visit, established patient) are visit‑level, bundled encounter codes, suggesting most reimbursement is captured as per‑encounter bundled payments rather than fee‑for‑service E/M fees. The presence of these FQHC encounter codes aligns with the provider taxonomy (FQHC) and implies the organization’s operations are centered on high-volume primary care and bundled clinic encounters.

    Operational billing behavior is reinforced by the high counts of common E/M codes with $0 avg paid (for example, 99213: 9.6K claims, $0 avg paid/claim and 99214: 7.5K claims, $0 avg paid/claim). This pattern is consistent with encounter‑level payment rules for FQHCs where standard E/M CPTs are often recorded but not separately reimbursed by Medicaid, indicating documentation of E/M activity while revenue is concentrated in encounter codes like T1015 and G0467.

    State competitive standing for the top codes is modest: T1015 ranks #25 of 70 providers in-state (65th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code), G0467 ranks #19 of 49 providers in-state (63th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code), and 80305 ranks #19 of 29 providers in-state (36th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code). These rank/percentile positions describe a steady, locally significant FQHC rather than a dominant statewide player for these service lines.

    Ancillary services and preventive items (vaccines, point‑of‑care labs, blood draws) appear on the roster but contribute trivial revenue relative to visits: examples include 36415: 1.3K claims, $3 avg paid/claim, $3.9K revenue (0.1%) and various vaccine codes (90688, 91320, 90480) each contributing under $1K. This suggests that while the clinic delivers routine immunizations and basic lab work, these lines are operational complements to the visit‑based business model rather than primary revenue drivers.

    The combination of long tenure (~19 years), the FQHC taxonomy, and extreme revenue concentration in bundled visit codes creates a stable, mission‑oriented profile: the provider fills an ambulatory primary‑care role in its community with predictable Medicaid revenue exposure. That same concentration also means reimbursement risk is concentrated in Medicaid policy and rates for FQHC encounter codes, since there is no Medicare revenue to diversify payer risk.
