Why this was flagged

High
Billing far above peers

Medicare paid this provider far more than its peers

In 2024 Medicare paid this provider $56,581,052, against a typical payment of $2,031,868 for the same kind of provider that year. High volume can be legitimate, but extreme outliers are where billing fraud shows up.

Shared address

2 providers share this street address
