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 South Dakota for Medicaid) — rank 1 means the highest claims volume for that code.

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to South Dakota 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. South Dakota (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

Service-line profile: The revenue mix is dominated by cataract and anterior-segment ophthalmic procedures, led by phacoemulsification with IOL insertion (66984: $417.6K) and related laser capsulotomy and anterior-segment work (66821, 66991). The presence of vitreoretinal codes such as 67042 and 67108 shows the center also performs some posterior-segment surgery, but these generate materially less revenue than cataract-related care.

Revenue concentration: Medicare income is highly concentrated in a very small set of codes — the top 3 Medicare codes account for 78.7% of the provider's total Medicare revenue, with 66984 alone representing 51.0% ($417.6K), J1097 contributing 20.9% ($170.7K), and 66991 contributing 6.8% ($55.3K). This concentration indicates the practice’s financial reliance on a limited set of high-revenue ophthalmic services.

Payer mix: This entity is effectively a single-payer provider in the dataset — total Medicare revenue is $819.1K while there is no Medicaid billing on file. That absence of Medicaid activity means analyses of low-income payer exposure or dual-eligible risk cannot be assessed from the claims on record.

Competitive standing on primary cataract surgery: The lead cataract code 66984 ranks #2832 of 15965 providers nationally and is reported at the 82th percentile, and the source labels this as a "typical, unremarkable volume for this code." That combination suggests the center is a modest but established national participant in cataract surgery rather than a dominant high-volume outlier.

Notable relative strength for capsulotomy: Posterior capsulotomy 66821 generated $50.5K (6.2% of Medicare revenue) over 276 claims and ranks #527 of 10087 providers nationally (95th percentile), though it is labeled "typical, unremarkable volume for this code" in the source. The high percentile ranking for 66821, relative to other codes, indicates comparatively elevated activity in YAG laser follow-up care for cataract patients.

Consumable/supply billing pattern: J1097 shows 2.3K claims and $170.7K in revenue (20.9% of Medicare revenue), which is large in claim count compared with procedural claim volumes (e.g., 66984 at 524 claims). This pattern points to frequent use and billing of ophthalmic irrigation/medication products in outpatient procedures and may reflect routine disposable supply usage across many encounters.

Retina and ancillary services: Vitreoretinal procedure 67042 accounts for $40.8K (5.0% of Medicare revenue) with a national rank of #320 of 1087 (69th percentile) and is described as "typical, unremarkable volume for this code." More complex retinal repair (67108) appears at lower relative standing (#508 of 706, 20th percentile), indicating the center provides some retina services but is not a major national player in complex retinal surgery.

Tenure and market presence: The provider’s NPI was enumerated on 2006-07-27 (~20 years ago), indicating a long-standing ambulatory surgical clinic/center presence in Rapid City, SD. Combined with the concentrated Medicare revenue and lack of Medicaid billing, this suggests a stable, specialty outpatient surgery operation focused primarily on cataract and related ophthalmic procedures.
