T1020	Help at home with daily living, billed per dayPersonal care services, per diem, not for an inpatient or resident of a hospital, nursing facility, icf/mr or imd, part of the individualized plan of treatment (code may not be used to identify services provided by home health aide or certified nurse assistant)	100%	17,690	632	$4.81M

Claims and beneficiary counts add up across code × month rows, so one patient seen every month counts many times. Rows with fewer than 12 claims are suppressed by HHS, so small lines can be missing.
