Hours billed per day
Medicaid billing converted into hours of hands-on care per day. The lower bound counts one unit per claim line and needs no price; the other two divide dollars by a unit price, the conservative one at 1.5 times the price. The clinician on the claim may be a supervisor under state rules, so billing organizations are counted too.

Procedures billed
The specific codes behind the dollars. Medicaid figures come from T-MSIS (2018 to 2024) and are compared with every other provider billing the same code; Medicare figures come from the 2024 physician and supplier file and compare this provider's submitted charge with what Medicare allowed, against the usual ratio for that code.
Medicaid, largest codes
| code | what it is | paid | share | per patient-month | typical | rank among providers | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 92507 | Treatment of speech, language, voice, communication, and/or hearing processing disorder | $7.5M | 88% | $1K | $190 (top 5% from $477) | 100th percentile | |
| 92523 | Evaluation of speech sound production with evaluation of language comprehension and expression | $965K | 11% | $431 | $137 (top 5% from $251) | 99th percentile | |
| 97110 | Therapy procedure using exercise to develop strength, endurance, range of motion, and flexibility, each 15 minutes | $21K | 0% | $416 | $76 (top 5% from $314) | too few months to rank | |
| 97113 | Therapy procedure using water pool to exercises, each 15 minutes | $4K | 0% | $342 | $150 (top 5% from $406) | too few months to rank | |
| 97530 | Therapy procedure using functional activities | $3K | 0% | $270 | $124 (top 5% from $387) | too few months to rank |
Medicare Part B 2024, largest codes
| code | what it is | services | beneficiaries | paid | submitted per service | allowed per service | charge to allowed | usual for this code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 92507 | Treatment of speech, language, voice, communication, and/or hearing processing disorder | 940 | 42 | $62K | $174 | $84 | 2.1x | 1.9x (90th percentile 3.3x) |
| 92523 | Evaluation of speech sound production with evaluation of language comprehension and expression | 22 | 21 | $4K | $365 | $252 | 1.4x | 1.5x (90th percentile 2.0x) |
A submitted charge many times the allowed amount is common and lawful; it matters when it is far above what other providers submit for the same code.
