Remote monitoring of physiologic parameters, management

Two counts appear throughout. The recorded count is what Medicare fee-for-service claims contain, and it is exact. The estimated all-Medicare count adds the Medicare Advantage side of the programme, which does not file the same claims.

The estimate divides the recorded count by the fee-for-service share of Medicare enrolment for that year. It assumes the procedure is used at the same rate on both sides of the programme, which public data cannot test. Where that assumption fails, the estimate is wrong in a known direction.

Shares, ratios and rates are calculated on recorded claims only, never on the estimate. Scaling both sides of a fraction changes nothing and would imply a precision the estimate does not have.

State markets. The comparison universe is 51 state markets — the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia is not a state. It is counted here because it bills Medicare as a separate market and has its own enrolment count, so it can be ranked alongside the states.

Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands, the other territories and military billing addresses sit outside this universe. National totals include them; state tables do not, so state shares sum to slightly less than the national figure.

Growth baselines. Comparisons in this brief start at 2021. The first year in the series is not used as a base, because a partial or truncated first year fabricates growth, and a COVID year is not used as a base either.

Sources. Volume, payment and provider figures come from the CMS Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners public use files, 2019 to 2024. Enrolment shares come from CMS Medicare Monthly Enrollment. Both are published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and carry no licence restriction.

What is counted. A service is a claim line, not a patient encounter. A beneficiary who receives the procedure twice in a year counts once in the beneficiary column and twice in the service column.

Fee-for-service only. The claims files cover Medicare fee-for-service. Medicare Advantage plans cover a growing majority of enrolment and do not file these claims. Every figure labelled “recorded” excludes them.

Suppression. CMS withholds any provider row covering fewer than eleven beneficiaries. A state served only by small billers therefore records nothing here, which is not the same as zero. No share is published for a pool of fewer than eleven billers, and no organisation or individual is named or ranked anywhere in this brief.

Billing state. States are assigned from the practice address on the claim. A centrally analysed test bills from the laboratory’s address whatever the patient’s location, so a highly concentrated map locates billers, not demand.

Comparison set. Percentile positions are against the 3,567 codes with at least 1,000 recorded services in 2024. They describe where this code sits among codes billed at comparable scale, not among all HCPCS codes.

Provider years. Provider-grain files begin in 2020, so the charge page covers a shorter window than the volume pages.

Why these chapters. The chapters in this brief are chosen from the data, not fixed. This code routed as DENSE: 34 state markets clear the 11-group floor and 51 comparative states bill volume (the app's 12-state Market-position gate), so structure and state benchmarks both render. A code whose data supports a different set of claims gets a different set of chapters, so no chapter in this brief rests on a figure the data cannot carry.

Not in this brief. No organisation, practice or individual is named. No commercial or list-price figure is used. No projection of future volume is made, and no statement is made about whether the procedure is used appropriately, or about clinical need.

What is delivered. This brief is delivered as a dated PDF. Every table behind every figure is printed in these pages, so the document is complete on its own. It contains no provider or organisation detail.

What it is. Nevvi Professional is a subscription to the Nevvi platform. Search a code and you get the physician groups billing it, ranked within a market, with volumes, charges, phone numbers and hospital affiliations. Follow any group into its own profile. See how a code’s volume has moved across years. Run the Platform analytics across markets.

What it includes. A subscription includes 20 Market Briefs per calendar year, each built like this one — dated, cited, vintage-stamped, methods attached, delivered as a dated PDF. A Brief beyond the included 20 is billed at the list price of $250.

What it costs. Solo is $500 per user per month on a 12-month commitment, or $5,000 per year prepaid — two months free. Team and Startup tiers are listed at nevvi.app/pricing.

Without a subscription. A single Market Brief is $250, one time. Single-code search on nevvi.app is free at full depth, and two specimen briefs are free to read in whole.

The same methods. Every Brief is produced from the same public CMS files and the same methods as this document, at the current vintage (CMS Part B, calendar year 2024).
