> Quick: tell me the tendency among all clinics as you move from year lavender, to red, to yellow, to green, to black, to peach in clinic 1

The other clinics show reasonable self-similarity in years 3, 4, and 5. But the fraudulent clinic is reporting almost nothing at all. Not whatever codes it reported in the past, not whatever codes are worth the most money, not even randomly selected codes -- nothing. It's true that that might not be interesting if the other clinics showed similar behavior, but they don't. (And actually, I think "no medical demand for a three-year period" would be pretty interesting too.)

yes, it's unusual. I'd also like to be able to interpret that group of skyscrapers toward the right of the chart, for the third clinic. It's far more than what any other clinics prescribe (including the fraudulent clinic, which doesn't prescribe that drug) and also it is far more than anything else that that clinic prescribes. It is also fairly static year over year within that clinic. So what gives?
