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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to North Carolina 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. North Carolina (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 billings are effectively single‑payer in the available dataset: lifetime Medicare revenue is $2.3M and there is no Medicaid billing on file. The absence of any Medicaid claims means analyses of in‑state payer mix or Medicaid network positioning are not possible from these records.

Revenue is highly concentrated in three imaging‑related codes: the top 3 Medicare codes (78492, A9555, J2785) account for 87.3% of this provider's total Medicare revenue. Individually those codes are reported as $1.2M (78492, 51.4%), $653.5K (A9555, 28.6%), and $167K (J2785, 7.3%), with volumes of 992, 1K, and 4K claims respectively.

The code mix and descriptions point to a focused PET myocardial perfusion and stress‑testing operation: 78492 (myocardial perfusion PET), A9555 (Rubidium rb‑82 tracer), and J2785 (regadenoson) together drive the bulk of revenue, indicating a high‑throughput cardiac PET lab that routinely uses pharmacologic stress. This combination implies an operational model centered on imaging throughput, tracer dosing and stress agent administration rather than broad inpatient cardiology services.

Competitive standing on key imaging metrics is nationally prominent: 78492 ranks #4 of 926 providers nationally (100th percentile; extreme outlier, far above typical national volume for this code) and J2785 ranks #9 of 6388 providers nationally (100th percentile; extreme outlier), signaling market leadership in PET perfusion imaging and pharmacologic stress testing. A9555 ranks #30 of 1266 (98th percentile) and is described in the data as a typical, unremarkable volume despite its high rank, which nonetheless places the provider well above most peers for rubidium tracer use.

While imaging dominates, the provider also bills for device implant and standard cardiac testing that complement the core PET service line: 33285 (implantable cardiac rhythm monitor) generated $135.2K (5.9% of Medicare revenue) across 39 claims, 93306 (echocardiography) produced $72.1K (3.1% across 534 claims), and 93015 (stress test supervision/interpretation) accounted for $52.9K (2.3% across 998 claims). The presence of these codes suggests ancillary procedural and diagnostic capacity that likely supports referrals into the high‑volume imaging workflow.

The business economics are concentrated not only on imaging procedures but also on consumables and drugs: A9555 (Rubidium rb‑82) and J2785 (regadenoson) together represent a material share of revenue and claim volume, indicating margins and throughput are sensitive to tracer supply, per‑dose reimbursement, and stress agent utilization patterns. Given the preponderance of PET and pharmacologic stress billing, changes in reimbursement or access to radiotracers would have outsized impact on the provider's Medicare revenue.

Although this provider shows national outlier status on several imaging codes, its footprint across other cardiology codes is mixed: 33285 ranks #241 of 1716 (85th percentile) and 93306 ranks #2999 of 24624 (88th percentile), which are elevated but more typical compared with the extreme outlier status on PET and stress codes. In practical terms this pattern indicates specialization and national prominence in cardiac PET/stress imaging while remaining a modest-to-strong participant on adjacent cardiology services.

The provider has an established Medicare presence with an NPI enumeration date of 2007-06-27 (~19 years ago), supporting the likelihood of a sustained referral base and operational continuity that could explain the high imaging volumes. Tenure combined with the concentrated revenue profile suggests a stable, specialized practice rather than a recent or transient billing pattern.
