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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to California 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. California (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.

This provider’s lifetime Medicare revenue is $932.5K and there is no Medicaid billing on file, so the practice is effectively single‑payer in the dataset and reliant on Medicare as its revenue source. The precomputed measure shows the top three Medicare codes account for 84.4% of Medicare revenue, indicating a concentrated revenue base centered on a few procedure types.

The top revenue-driving codes (36482, 36465, and 93970) indicate a focused vascular service line: 36482 and 36465 are percutaneous vein ablation/sclerotherapy procedures used to treat varicose veins, and 93970 is a complete bilateral duplex ultrasound of extremity veins. This code mix points to an operation oriented around endovenous interventions with routine imaging guidance and follow-up, rather than a broad multispecialty surgical practice.

Revenue concentration is pronounced: 36482 alone represents 53.0% of this provider’s Medicare revenue, while the top three codes together drive 84.4% of total Medicare revenue. That degree of concentration implies that changes in utilization or reimbursement for these specific venous procedures would materially affect the provider’s Medicare income.

On competitive standing, the provider is a clear high‑volume national outlier for several venous procedure codes. 36482 ranks #8 of 710 nationally (99th percentile; extreme outlier) and 36465 ranks #48 of 989 (95th percentile; notably above typical national volume), signaling that this clinician operates at far higher-than-typical volumes for these procedures versus peers.

Several other codes reinforce the practice pattern: 36470 (sclerotherapy) ranks #3 of 168 (99th percentile; extreme outlier) despite contributing a smaller share of revenue, while 36475 (radiofrequency ablation) appears at a typical volume (48th percentile). Together these patterns suggest a dominant focus on chemical and mechanical venous ablation techniques rather than a balanced mix of vascular procedures.

Diagnostic and support services are also prominent: 93970 (complete bilateral duplex) produced $52K (5.6% of Medicare revenue) over 374 claims and ranks #359 of 20939 (98th percentile; notably above typical volume), and 93971 (unilateral duplex) produced $48.3K (5.2%) over 537 claims and ranks #131 of 21388 (99th percentile; notably above typical volume). High utilization of duplex ultrasound is consistent with a workflow that pairs imaging with procedural venous care for mapping, guidance, and follow-up.

Evaluation-and-management coding shows many low-complexity visits consistent with procedure-focused follow-up: 99212 appears 597 times ($25.1K, 2.7% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #778 of 99011 (99th percentile; extreme outlier), while 99213 is at more typical levels (76th percentile). This mix suggests frequent brief follow-up encounters around the procedural episodes billed.

The provider has an established billing tenure, with an NPI enumerated on 2006-05-30 (~20 years ago), indicating long-standing participation in Medicare. Coupled with the concentrated procedure mix and national outlier positions on key venous codes, the profile is of an experienced, specialized vascular practice heavily concentrated in endovenous varicose vein treatments and dependent on Medicare volume for financial scale.
