Dentist C
This dentist has been identified as atypical as a result of the EM 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 1 (moderate to major work
OR amount of diagnostic work > $140 OR amount of preventative work > $340).
A manual review of this dentist’s claims revealed two interesting facts. First, this dentist
performs a great deal of scaling (typically 4 units of time). Also, this dentist performs
emergency examinations with atypically high frequency.
