Specialty and service mix indicate a vascular/interventional radiology focus with a strong emphasis on peripheral venous procedures and intravascular imaging. The top Medicare codes include 37229, 37225, and 37227—procedures associated with endovascular treatment—while codes such as 36465, 36482, 37252, and 37253 reflect venous ablation and intravascular ultrasound; high volumes of duplex ultrasound codes (93925, 93970) further show integrated diagnostic imaging paired with interventions. This combination suggests the provider operates a vertically integrated vascular access/venous treatment practice rather than a pure diagnostic radiology outfit.
Medicare revenue is highly concentrated: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 59.0% of this provider's total Medicare revenue. That concentration is driven by 37229 ($1.4M, 37.2% of Medicare revenue), 37225 ($520.6K, 13.7%), and 37227 ($311.5K, 8.2%), signalling most Medicare dollars come from a small set of endovascular procedure codes.
On the Medicaid side the precomputed top 3 codes account for 63.9% of Medicaid revenue, revealing similar concentration in a few venous/endovascular services. Medicaid revenue is led by 36465 ($284.2K, 43.9% of Medicaid revenue), followed by 37229 ($87.4K, 13.5%) and 37225 ($42.3K, 6.5%), indicating that foam sclerotherapy and related endovascular procedures are the primary Medicaid revenue drivers.
Payer mix is Medicare-dominant in scale: total Medicare revenue is $3.8M while total Medicaid revenue is $650.3K, so the provider is not single-payer but clearly relies more heavily on Medicare for overall revenue. Both payers show the same procedural focus on venous and endovascular services, but Medicare represents the larger revenue base.
National competitive standing for several codes is elevated: 37229 ranks #17 of 603 providers nationally (97th percentile) and 37225 ranks #23 of 715 (97th percentile), both described as notably above typical national volume. Diagnostic duplex and guidance codes are extreme outliers on Medicare—93925 (486 claims) and 93970 (640 claims) each rank in the 99th percentile and are labeled extreme outlier—indicating unusually high volumes for noninvasive vascular imaging at the national level.
State-level Medicaid positioning shows market leadership on select codes: 37229 is #1 of 17 providers in-state (100th percentile) for Medicaid and 37233 is #1 of 3 in-state, while 37252 ranks #3 of 25 (92nd percentile). These ranks indicate the provider is a leading in-state performer for certain interventional vascular/venous services, particularly for Medicaid beneficiaries.
High claim volumes for peri-procedural and imaging codes indicate an integrated care pathway that includes diagnosis, procedure, and ultrasound surveillance. Examples include Medicaid volumes of 1.7K claims for 93970 ($40.6K revenue) and 831 claims for 36465 ($284.2K revenue), and Medicare volumes such as 640 claims for 93970 and 486 claims for 93925; this pattern is consistent with a practice that bills both the intervention and associated noninvasive monitoring.
Tenure supports an established practice footprint: the NPI was enumerated on 2006-02-07 (~20 years ago), which aligns with the provider’s ability to accumulate sustained high volumes and to build the interventional/venous service lines evident in both Medicare and Medicaid billing.
