    Key Findings

    SHIELD DENVER HEALTH CARE CENTER INC reports $63.3M in lifetime Medicaid revenue and has none for Medicare on file, making it effectively a single-payer Medicaid-focused DME supplier in available claims data. The absence of Medicare billing means analyses of its market position should be framed solely against Colorado Medicaid activity rather than dual-payer comparisons.

    Revenue is concentrated in a small set of Medicaid codes: the precomputed top three Medicaid codes account for 29.8% of this provider's total Medicaid revenue, led by A4554 ($6.3M, 11.5%), T4526 ($5.2M, 9.4%), and T4527 ($4.8M, 8.8%). This concentration indicates a material reliance on a few high-volume product lines for a large share of overall Medicaid receipts.

    The provider’s code mix points to a business model centered on high-volume consumable DME, primarily adult incontinence supplies and enteral nutrition. High-revenue incontinence and pad/protective underwear codes (A4554, T4526, T4527, T4535, T4528) together with multiple enteral formula codes (B4160, B4161, B4150, B4154) suggest operations that supply recurrent disposable products and tube-feeding nutrition rather than predominantly durable medical equipment.

    SHIELD is a dominant statewide supplier for many of its top Medicaid codes: A4554, T4526, T4527, T4535, A4927, T4528, B4150, T4522 and several others rank #1 in Colorado and are labeled extreme outliers, placing the provider at the 100th percentile for those lines. Those #1 rankings and extreme outlier designations indicate this provider substantially outpaces typical state volume for multiple product categories and likely captures a leading share in those niches.

    Not all high-revenue enteral items are statistical outliers: B4160 ($4.7M, ranked #2 of 22, 95th percentile), B4161 ($3M, ranked #3 of 14, 85th percentile), and B4035 ($1.9M, ranked #5 of 22, 81th percentile) appear as high-volume but more typical state-level activity for enteral nutrition supplies. This mix shows the provider blends truly dominant positions in incontinence consumables with strong—but not abnormal—participation in several enteral supply categories.

    Claim volumes and unitizations further reinforce a consumables-focused operation: examples include A4927 (177K claims, $2.5M revenue), A4554 (123.6K claims, $6.3M revenue), and T4535 (64.9K claims, $3M revenue). These very large claim counts for low-unit items are consistent with frequent, recurring shipments to end users or institutional customers rather than one-time durable equipment sales.

    The business is highly exposed to policy or reimbursement changes for a compact set of product codes given the revenue concentration in incontinence-related items and a small number of enteral formulas. Any shifts in Medicaid coverage, prior authorization, or rate-setting for A4554/T4526/T4527 and other top lines could meaningfully affect overall revenue given the top-three codes account for 29.8% of Medicaid receipts.

    SHIELD’s NPI was enumerated on 2006-08-18 (~20 years ago), indicating a long tenure in the market that may have enabled scale in supply-chain logistics and payer relationships within Colorado Medicaid. Tenure combined with repeated #1 state rankings for multiple codes suggests established operational capacity in high-volume DME distribution to the Medicaid population.
