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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Michigan 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. Michigan (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 billed activity is concentrated almost entirely in Medicare: total Medicare revenue is $1.6M and there is no Medicaid billing on file, making the practice effectively single‑payer from the claims available. The absence of Medicaid activity suggests the provider’s referral patterns and contracts are oriented toward Medicare beneficiaries and likely outpatient/interventional care pathways rather than Medicaid populations.

Revenue concentration is high: the precomputed top‑3 Medicare codes account for 63.2% of the provider’s Medicare revenue, driven by 37227 ($524.9K, 32.9%), 37229 ($374.1K, 23.4%), and 37252 ($109.3K, 6.9%). Such concentration means payment or coverage changes to any of these three codes would materially affect overall Medicare revenue for this clinician.

The code mix and available descriptions point to a practice focused on endovascular and dialysis‑access interventions. The presence of 37252 (intravascular ultrasound) with a full description and 36902/36907 (dialysis access angioplasty) in the top codes indicates routine use of intravascular imaging and angioplasty techniques; additional codes for venous ablation (36482, 36475) and multiple angioplasty/stent codes further reinforce an interventional vascular service line.

Competitive standing is mixed across specific procedures: 37252 ranks #75 of 1088 (93th percentile; notably above typical national volume), indicating above‑typical national throughput for intravascular ultrasound, while the top revenue drivers 37227 (ranks #29 of 363; 92th percentile; typical, unremarkable) and 37229 (ranks #78 of 603; 87th percentile; typical, unremarkable) are high‑revenue for this provider but characterized in the data as typical volumes for those codes. This pattern suggests the provider is a regionally active interventionalist with particular strength in IVUS and select imaging/diagnostic procedures rather than dominant volume across all peripheral endovascular CPTs.

High ambulatory and diagnostic throughput supports the interventional work: 99213 appears as an extreme outlier with 1.6K claims and $100.1K revenue (6.3%), ranking #1887 of 457151 (100th percentile; extreme outlier), and 93990 (hemodialysis graft duplex) is also an extreme outlier at 272 claims and $23.7K revenue (1.5%), ranking #27 of 1490 (98th percentile; extreme outlier). Together these findings imply a large volume of office visits and focused dialysis‑access imaging services that likely feed procedural caseloads.

Multiple noninvasive vascular imaging codes are notably above typical national volumes, including 93970 (348 claims, $43.8K; ranks #414 of 20939, 98th percentile; notably above typical), 93925 (255 claims, $41.8K; ranks #296 of 10098, 97th percentile; notably above typical), and 93922 (350 claims, $16.8K; ranks #144 of 8082, 98th percentile; notably above typical). This concentration of duplex and physiologic studies suggests an on‑site vascular lab or strong access to vascular imaging capacity that supports both diagnostic and interventional workflows.

The provider’s NPI tenure (NPI enumerated (registered): 2006-02-02 (~20 years ago)) indicates an established practice presence; coupled with the mix of interventional and diagnostic codes, this tenure supports a stable, specialized vascular surgery practice rather than a recent entrant. Longevity plus high percentiles in IVUS and dialysis imaging point to a sustained referral base for vascular and dialysis access procedures.

From a business risk/opportunity perspective, dependence on a small set of high‑revenue Medicare codes (top 3 = 63.2% of Medicare revenue) paired with no Medicaid billing represents both leverage and vulnerability: the provider can market specialized vascular/interventional services to payers and dialysis centers, but reimbursement policy changes or coding audits affecting these top codes could disproportionately reduce revenue. Strategic engagement with Medicare plans and dialysis providers would be advisable given the concentrated revenue drivers and demonstrated imaging/intervention capabilities.
