Medicare volume is ranked against active providers in the same specialty. Signals a provider has no public data for (e.g. Medicare claims) are left out of the score entirely — never counted as zero — so providers without that data are not penalized.

What this provider does (Medicare)
Based on Medicare fee-for-service claims, 2024; not all care is captured.
| Service (HCPCS) | Medicare services | Typical Medicare-allowed (2024) |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Hospital Care With Moderate Level of Medical Decision Making, If Using Time, at Least 75 Minutes99223 | 349 | $158 |
| Prolonged Hospital Inpatient Or Observation Care Evaluation and Management Service(s) Beyond the Total Time for the Primary Service (when the Primary Service Has Been Selected Using Time on the Date of the Primary Service); Each Additional 15 Minutes By ThG0316 | 21 | $28 |
| Critical Care, First 30-74 Minutes99291 | 13 | $185 |
Typical Medicare-allowed amounts for these services range $28–$185 (2024). The Medicare-allowed amount is what Medicare recognizes for a service under fee-for-service — a reference figure for 2024, not a price quote and not what you would be billed. Medicare Part B covers roughly an eighth of all NPIs (65+ skew); services with fewer than 11 beneficiaries are suppressed by CMS.
