    Key Findings

    COOK CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTER reports $286.6M in lifetime Medicaid revenue and has no Medicare billing on file, making it effectively a single-payer Medicaid-focused provider in the available data. Its NPI was enumerated on 2006-01-26 (~20 years ago), indicating an established presence in the market.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in emergency department E/M services: the top three Medicaid codes (99284, 99285, 99283) together account for 61.2% of the provider's total Medicaid revenue. Individually those codes generate $70.1M (99284, 25.6%), $51.2M (99285, 18.7%), and $46.5M (99283, 17.0%), signaling that a majority of dollars flow through higher-acuity ED encounters.

    The code mix and volumes point to a large pediatric acute-care and emergency operations footprint: 99282 (84K claims, $30.8M), 99283 (72.9K claims, $46.5M), 99284 (42.6K claims, $70.1M) and 99285 (29.2K claims, $51.2M) together reflect heavy ED throughput across acuity levels, supported by observation (G0378) and very high-volume low-acuity outpatient encounters (99211: 181K claims, $8.3M). This pattern is consistent with a children’s hospital that combines high-volume front-door ED care with downstream observation and outpatient nursing visits.

    State-level ranking shows dominant volume for several pediatric-utilization codes: 99282 ranks #1 of 368 providers in-state and is labeled an "extreme outlier" (100th percentile), 99281 ranks #1 of 149 (100th percentile, extreme outlier), and 99211 ranks #2 of 959 (100th percentile, extreme outlier). Other ED codes like 99283 and 99285 sit in the upper percentiles (98th and 96th, respectively), indicating the hospital is a major statewide participant for pediatric ED services, particularly on lower-acuity visit volumes.

    Beyond ED care, the provider shows concentrated pediatric cardiology and imaging capacity: 93306 (6.9K claims, $15.1M, 5.5%) ranks #14 of 410 (97th percentile; notably above typical state volume), and 93000 (16.7K claims, $3.9M, 1.4%) ranks #6 of 516 (99th percentile; extreme outlier). These findings suggest significant on-site echocardiography and ECG services tied to the hospital’s pediatric specialty mix.

    High-volume diagnostic and infectious-disease testing supports the clinical throughput profile: 87635 (50.3K claims, $2.9M, 1.1%) is an "extreme outlier" (100th percentile) and 87631 (24.4K claims, $4.1M, 1.5%) ranks #2 of 135 (99th percentile). Respiratory procedures such as 94640 (13K claims, $3.7M, 1.3%) rank #2 of 446 (100th percentile; extreme outlier), indicating substantial respiratory testing and treatment capacity that dovetails with the ED volume.

    The provider combines very large claim counts for lower-paid services with concentrated high-revenue ED encounters: for example, 99211 generates 181K claims but only $8.3M (3.0%), while high-average-paid ED codes such as 99284 and 99285 drive the bulk of revenue. This mix implies operational scale driven by visit volume plus reliance on a smaller set of high-dollar ED codes for revenue, which could make payer-rate changes to ED E/M reimbursement material to financial performance.

    Operationally and competitively, the hospital is an established pediatric hub in Fort Worth: long-tenured (NPI 2006-01-26, ~20 years) and repeatedly classified as an "extreme outlier" or "notably above typical" statewide for multiple codes (e.g., 99282, 99281, 99211, 71046, 94640, 87635). Its dominant statewide rankings for specific high-volume pediatric services position it as a key Medicaid service center in Texas, but its heavy dependence on a few ED codes (top three = 61.2% of Medicaid revenue) concentrates revenue risk around those service lines.
