Statistical flags are not proof of wrongdoing. Some entities (government agencies, home care programs) may legitimately bill at high rates. Hospitals, government entities, and large care organizations may legitimately bill at higher rates due to patient acuity, overhead costs, or specialized services. Read our methodology.
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.
Billing Swing
Billing Swing means this provider's total billing changed dramatically from one year to the next — increasing or decreasing by more than 200% with over $1M in absolute change. This could indicate a change in practice scope, a billing scheme ramping up, or legitimate growth.
New Entrant
New Entrant means this provider began billing Medicaid recently but is already receiving millions of dollars in payments. While some new providers legitimately grow fast (e.g., large group practices), this pattern is also common in fraud schemes that set up shell companies to bill aggressively before shutting down.
Instant Volume
Instant Volume means this provider billed over $1 million in their very first year of Medicaid participation. New providers typically ramp up gradually, so immediate high-volume billing can be a red flag.
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.
