Dentist A
This dentist has been identified as atypical as a result of the K-Means clustering analysis
for general (non-tooth specific) procedures. In particular, the chart below shows that this
dentist has an extremely high proportion of claims in Cluster 6 (moderate to major work,
no expensive technologies used) and Cluster 8 (age > 19, moderate work, no expensive
technologies used).
A manual review of this practitioner’s claim history shows that nearly every patient visit
results in at least 2 units of time of polishing and at least 3 units of time of scaling.
