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