Why this was flagged
Medicare paid far more per patient than peers
In 2021 this provider was paid $21,786 per patient, against a typical $10,326 for the same kind of provider in TN. A genuinely high-need patient mix can explain some of this, but extreme per-patient billing is a classic upcoding and phantom-patient pattern.

An owner name may match the federal exclusion list
The owner name matches an exclusion-list name, but no second identifier confirms identity. Treat this as low-confidence context until a person verifies it.
