Screening at Little Company of Mary Hospital of Indiana today

Public Medicare claims do not attribute lung screening reads to Little Company of Mary Hospital of Indiana locations. Radiologists who read for a health system often bill through a separate radiology group, so Little Company of Mary Hospital of Indiana's screening volume is best measured from its own records.

Most adults who qualify see a primary care clinician every year. We count 97 primary care clinicians, 0 pulmonologists and 0 thoracic surgeons practicing at Little Company of Mary Hospital of Indiana locations. A 20 pack-year smoking history is often missing from structured EHR fields, so many eligible patients are never flagged.

CMS Medicare Physician and Other Practitioners 2024 (CPT 71271); clinicians matched to Little Company of Mary Hospital of Indiana by practice address using the AHRQ Compendium of U.S. Health Systems 2023, so reads billed by outside radiology groups are not included. The all-payer estimate scales Medicare fee-for-service by the local Medicare Advantage share (43%, CMS) and, at the high end, by the share of eligible adults under 65 (64%).
