Why this was flagged

Moderate
Shared address

2 providers share this street address

This address is the registered location of 2 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 cluster

Owner is tied to 6 providers

An owner or managing party of this provider (DEAN M HARRISON) is listed on 6 separate Medicare enrollments. Chains are legal, but rapid multi-entity accumulation is a common structure in healthcare fraud cases.
