Why are Medicare and Medicaid shown separately instead of combined?

They come from two different CMS data sources with no shared claim identifier, so they can't be reconciled into one number without double-counting or guessing. Every table and chart on this page keeps them fully separate.

Why is there no private/commercial revenue figure?

Private and commercial payer data comes from Transparency in Coverage files, which only publish negotiated rates — not claims or utilization volume. Without a volume figure, no revenue number can be computed for any provider from that data.

What does "Rank" mean in the Competitive Analysis & Benchmarks tables?

For a given CPT/HCPCS code, it's this provider's position by claims volume among all providers billing that same code at that geography level (State, National, or New Mexico for Medicaid) — rank 1 means the highest claims volume for that code.

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to New Mexico only?

Medicaid is administered per-state with no single national fee schedule, so a state or national comparison the way Medicare has one isn't available. New Mexico (this provider's own state) is the only grouping that's conceptually meaningful.

Why are the numbers rounded to the nearest 10?

To avoid implying more precision than the underlying data supports at a single-provider level. Ratios are kept precise since they're a relative comparison, not a volume or dollar figure.

How current is this data?

The Medicare and Medicaid tables are both single current snapshots, not refreshed on a recurring schedule yet.

Key Findings

CHRIS BUNTROCK in FARMINGTON, NM (Ophthalmology Physician) has Total Medicare revenue: $1M and no Medicaid billing on file, making the practice effectively single‑payer Medicare for the claims in this dataset. The provider’s NPI was enumerated 2006-07-18 (~20 years ago), indicating long tenure in the Medicare program which supports continuity but not necessarily large scale based on the revenue total.

Revenue is highly concentrated in a few services: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 82.4% of this provider's total Medicare revenue, driven by J0178 ($517K, 50.1%), J2777 ($174K, 16.9%), and 66984 ($159.2K, 15.4%). This concentration indicates that a small set of procedures and high-cost injectable drugs dominate the practice’s Medicare income.

The code mix points to an intravitreal injection and cataract surgical practice model: J0178 (746 claims, $693 avg paid/claim, $517K) and J2777 (6K claims, $29 avg paid/claim, $174K) represent anti‑VEGF/retinal injection activity, while 66984 (400 claims, $398 avg paid/claim, $159.2K) reflects routine cataract extraction with intraocular lens insertion. Together these codes suggest a workflow that combines a high-volume injection clinic with cataract surgery as a core surgical service.

Competitive standing by code is mixed: J0178 ranks #1570 of 3204 providers (51th percentile) and is described as typical, indicating unremarkable national volume for aflibercept injections; J2777 ranks #1392 of 2039 providers (31th percentile) and likewise shows typical volume; by contrast, 66984 ranks #3366 of 15965 providers (79th percentile), placing this provider above most peers on cataract surgery volume nationally. Overall, the provider is a modest participant in retinal injection therapy but relatively stronger in cataract procedures compared with national peers.

Ancillary diagnostic and monitoring services are present and concentrated in a few items that support retinal care: 92134 (508 claims, $25 avg paid/claim, $12.7K) ranks #3456 of 26868 providers (87th percentile), and 92136 (236 claims, $28 avg paid/claim, $6.6K) ranks #2479 of 8731 providers (71th percentile), indicating above‑typical use of retinal imaging and IOL biometry that aligns with the injection and surgical case mix. These higher percentiles for imaging suggest in‑office capability for diagnostics and surgical planning rather than reliance on external imaging centers.

There are clear low‑volume or specialized procedure signals in the profile: 66982 (14 claims, $536 avg paid/claim, $7.5K) ranks #4187 of 4580 providers (5th percentile) and 92012 (12 claims, $45 avg paid/claim, $540) ranks #16735 of 17177 providers (1th percentile), both described as typical but at low percentiles relative to peers. This pattern implies limited use of complex cataract techniques and minimal intermediate‑level established‑patient exams in the Medicare population compared with national norms.

Operational and financial exposure is concentrated in high‑cost drug administration and cataract procedures: J0178 alone represents $517K (50.1% of Medicare revenue) and, together with J2777 and 66984, makes up 82.4% of Total Medicare revenue: $1M. Any shifts in reimbursement or utilization for these specific injectable drugs or cataract surgery could materially affect the provider’s Medicare revenue given this concentration.

Taken together, the data describe a long‑tenured, Medicare‑focused ophthalmology practice whose revenue profile is dominated by intravitreal injections (both aflibercept and faricimab) and cataract surgery, with supportive in‑office imaging. The provider’s national rank is generally typical for injection codes but notably stronger for cataract surgery, positioning the practice as a modest but surgically active ophthalmic provider rather than a high‑volume national retinal center.
