Red Flags Explained

Each flag represents a statistical test that identified unusual billing patterns. Here's what each flag on this provider means in plain English:

Cost Outlier

Cost Outlier means this provider charges significantly more per claim than other providers billing the same procedure codes. This could indicate upcoding, inflated charges, or specialized services that justify higher costs.

High Cost Per Claim

High Cost Per Claim means each individual claim from this provider costs significantly more than what other providers charge for the same services. This could indicate upcoding (billing for more expensive services than provided) or legitimate specialized care.

High Claims Per Patient

High Claims Per Patient means this provider files an unusually high number of claims per individual patient. This could indicate legitimate intensive treatment or a pattern of billing for services not actually rendered.

These flags are statistical indicators only. Many flagged providers have legitimate explanations for their billing patterns. Learn more about our methodology.
