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:

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.

Rate Outlier

Rate Outlier means this provider charges above the 90th percentile for multiple different procedure codes simultaneously. While one high-cost code could reflect specialization, consistently high rates across many codes may indicate systematic overbilling.

Explosive Growth

Explosive Growth means this provider's billing increased by more than 500% year-over-year. While rapid expansion can be legitimate, this pattern has been observed in fraud schemes that ramp up billing quickly before detection.

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.

Spending Spike

Spending Spike means this provider experienced a dramatic, sudden increase in billing over a short period. Legitimate causes include new contracts or expanded services, but this pattern also appears in billing fraud ramp-ups.

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