3 providers share this street address
This address is the registered location of 3 separate Medicare-enrolled providers. Legitimate causes exist (shared medical office buildings, management companies), but dense clustering of billing entities at one address is a known fraud pattern.

Owner is tied to 30 providers
An owner or managing party of this provider (KENNETH D HOLMEN) is listed on 30 separate Medicare enrollments. Chains are legal, and most are ordinary business — this is background context, not a fraud indicator on its own.
