    Key Findings

    This provider’s billing is concentrated in Medicare: lifetime Medicare revenue is $3.8M and there is no Medicaid billing on file, so the practice operates effectively as a single-payer (Medicare) revenue stream for the data shown. The absence of Medicaid activity means analyses of in-state Medicaid competitiveness or payer diversification will be limited.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in three high-cost oncology drugs: the precomputed top-3 codes account for 65.1% of Medicare revenue, with J9271 generating $928.8K (25.6% of total), J9299 generating $807.3K (22.3% of total), and J9144 generating $622.4K (17.2% of total). This concentration signals that a large share of the provider’s Medicare business derives from administration of biologic/oncology infusions rather than routine primary care or general outpatient procedures.

    The service mix and code set indicate an infusion- and oncology-focused operation: frequent billing for J9271, J9299, and J9144 (pembrolizumab, nivolumab, daratumumab) plus supportive oncology drugs (e.g., J0897, J1439) and infusion codes (96413, 96367) together suggest the provider delivers systemic cancer therapies and accompanying supportive care in an office or infusion setting. Imaging and nuclear diagnostic utilization including A9595 ($111.6K) and 78815 ($51.9K) further supports a cancer-care workflow that couples drug administration with advanced diagnostic staging.

    Competitive standing by code is mixed: J9299 (rank #49 of 505, 90th percentile) and J9144 (rank #73 of 615, 88th percentile) place the provider in upper-percentile national cohorts for those agents, but the profile descriptions provided label these volumes as "typical, unremarkable" for their respective code populations. By contrast, several non-drug codes are statistical outliers — notably 99214 (1.2K claims, $109.7K; described as an "extreme outlier") and 99213 (1.1K claims, $62.7K; also described as an "extreme outlier") — indicating unusually high office E/M activity relative to national peers.

    Multiple procedure codes tied to supportive and procedural care appear above typical peer levels: 96413 (543 claims, $50.5K) is noted as "notably above typical national volume," 96367 (716 claims, $15K) is "notably above typical national volume," and J9217 (576 claims, $74.9K) is characterized as an "extreme outlier." These patterns suggest the practice not only administers high-cost oncology biologics but also bills at elevated rates for chemotherapy administration and certain depot therapies, reinforcing an infusion-centric business model.

    Laboratory and imaging lines contribute meaningful secondary revenue: lab panels 80048 ($22.9K) and 80076 ($22.1K) are reported at very high national percentiles (99th and 98th respectively), while diagnostic CT and PET services (74177 $31.8K; A9595 $111.6K) appear in the top-25 revenue list. This mix indicates on-site or referred ancillary services that support ongoing oncology management and patient monitoring.

    Tenure is long-standing: the provider’s NPI was enumerated on 2007-03-08 (~19 years ago), which supports interpreting current patterns as the product of an established practice rather than a new entrant. Long enrollment combined with sustained high-volume oncology drug billing suggests an entrenched clinical focus rather than a transient case-mix anomaly.

    Payer-concentration risk and competitive implications: with $3.8M in Medicare revenue and no Medicaid revenue on file, the provider’s financial exposure is concentrated in Medicare reimbursement dynamics and oncology drug pricing/coverage. For payer or network analysts, this profile flags a specialist infusion/oncology-oriented operation with strong Medicare dependency and limited leverage from state Medicaid contracts.
