🔎 Data Overview

🤖

Our machine learning model — trained on 281 confirmed fraud cases — gives this provider a "Very High" fraud-pattern score. All 20 decision trees in our ensemble model agree that this provider's prescribing patterns resemble those of confirmed fraud cases. This is a statistical finding, not an accusation.

⚠️

Opioid prescribing rate is 642% above the average for Family Practice providers. While some providers legitimately treat pain-heavy populations, deviations of this magnitude are rare and warrant examination.

⚠️

This provider co-prescribes opioids and benzodiazepines — a combination carrying an FDA Black Box Warning due to increased risk of respiratory depression and death. While sometimes clinically necessary, this combination requires careful justification.
