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 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 90853 | Group psychotherapyhistory of abuse | $10.7M | 98% | $346 | $60 (top 5% from $332) | 95th percentile | |
| 90791 | Psychiatric diagnostic evaluation | $108K | 1% | $90 | $105 (top 5% from $228) | 36th percentile | |
| 90834 | Psychotherapy, 45 minutes | $56K | 1% | $83 | $101 (top 5% from $318) | 38th percentile | |
| 99051 | Medicaid service code | $9K | 0% | $10 | $6.71 (top 5% from $30) | 62nd percentile | |
| 90832 | Psychotherapy, 30 minutes | $3K | 0% | $40 | $59 (top 5% from $239) | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 90853 | Group psychotherapy | 875 | 34 | $15K | $100 | $23 | 4.4x | 4.0x (90th percentile 7.8x) |
| 90791 | Psychiatric diagnostic evaluation | 58 | 35 | $5K | $250 | $123 | 2.0x | 1.9x (90th percentile 3.6x) |
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.
