Mississippi Medicaid paid $1,945,752 to this specialty’s providers in 2023.
The chart shows all 4 Mississippi providers in this specialty.
Each navy tick is one Mississippi provider. The pale bands behind them are every provider of this kind in the country, so a tick far to the right bills far above the national pattern.
Chart stops at $9,583.00 per patient; 1 of 80 providers nationally bill above that and are outside the chart.
The pale bands vary in width. They come from the national distribution, which is measured in widening steps, so a band near the left covers a narrow range of dollars and a band near the right covers a wide one.
Each diamond under the axis is one state’s middle payment per patient. Mississippi always shows, in bold, with its number of providers in brackets. A neighboring state shows only when at least 12 of its providers bill this specialty.
- Patient counts are reported per service code per month; a patient seen for several services or across months is counted in each, so payment per patient here means payment per patient, per service, per month — the same conservative definition applied to every provider nationally.
- The source suppresses any provider-code-month under 12 claim lines or 12 beneficiaries, so occasional and small-volume billing is invisible; medians are computed over the surviving higher-volume rows.
- Headline figures are calendar-2023; 2024 data are preliminary and excluded.
- Outpatient and professional spending only; an outlier is a statistical lead, not a finding of fraud or improper payment.
