Benchmark of the Week: Medicare volume per provider by specialty, 2010

This chart shows the volume of Medicare claims billed by physicians who billed the most and least often, defined by the average number of claims billed per provider within that specialty. Example: The average cardiologist billed 5,053 Medicare claims in 2010. Note: The first seven specialties had the highest Medicare volume in 2010, while the last seven specialties had the lowest volume. Note: These figures were calculated by dividing the total number of services billed by all providers in a specialty into the number of individual physicians enrolled in each specialty, according to Medicare claims and provider enrollment data from 2010.
