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 Maryland for Medicaid) — rank 1 means the highest claims volume for that code.

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Maryland 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. Maryland (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

ERIC WEICHEL has $4.1M in lifetime Medicare revenue and no Medicaid billing on file, making Medicare the effective sole public-payer footprint for this provider. The absence of any Medicaid claims means payer mix is highly concentrated on Medicare at the population level and there is no in-state Medicaid activity to diversify public-payer risk or volume.

Revenue is heavily concentrated in a narrow set of services: the precomputed top three Medicare codes (J0178, 92014, J2778) account for 75.6% of this provider's total Medicare revenue. J0178 alone represents $2.5M revenue (59.7% of this provider's total Medicare revenue), indicating strong dependency on a single drug/service for the majority of Medicare receipts.

The CPT/HCPCS mix points to a retina‑focused, injection‑centric ophthalmology practice that also maintains high office throughput. High revenue and claim counts for intravitreal drug codes (J0178, J2778, J2777, Q5128) alongside large volumes of comprehensive established visits under 92014 and retinal imaging under 92134 suggest the practice combines frequent injection therapy with diagnostic imaging and routine comprehensive exams.

On competitive standing, this provider is a major national‑volume participant for several core services: J0178 ranks #98 of 3204 providers nationally (97th percentile; notably above typical national volume for this code), and 92014 ranks #18 of 35415 providers nationally (100th percentile; extreme outlier), signaling top‑tier volume nationally for aflibercept injections and exceptionally high volumes of comprehensive established visits.

Several diagnostic and procedure codes are also extreme outliers or notably above typical volume, highlighting unusually high throughput. 92134 ($129.2K revenue, 3.1%) ranks #160 of 26868 providers nationally (99th percentile; extreme outlier), and 92202 ($35.6K revenue, 0.9%) ranks #13 of 2327 providers nationally (99th percentile; extreme outlier), which together reflect outsized use of retinal imaging and extended ophthalmoscopy relative to peers.

The practice performs surgical retina procedures but at much lower scale than injections and office visits: 67028 shows $233.2K revenue (5.6%) and ranks #292 of 4255 providers nationally (93th percentile; notably above typical national volume), while 67041 ($24.8K), 67108 ($11.3K) and 67036 ($7.4K) are billed in far smaller absolute amounts. This pattern indicates occasional operative interventions layered on a dominantly outpatient, injection‑and‑imaging service line.

Drug billing reflects a mix of branded biologics, biosimilars and unclassified/compounded products used in intravitreal therapy: Q5128 generated $120.9K, J3590 $95.4K, J3490 $87.2K and J7999 $14.9K in revenue, with national ranks in typical ranges. The presence of both branded agents and biosimilars/compounded drugs signals therapeutic variety and substitution across available intravitreal products rather than reliance on a single formulation.

The provider's NPI was enumerated on 2006-07-12 (~20 years ago), indicating long tenure in the market. Combined with concentrated Medicare revenue and multiple extreme outlier ranks across injections, imaging and comprehensive visit codes, this tenure supports characterization of an established, retina‑oriented ophthalmology operation with very large Medicare outpatient volume and no Medicaid activity.
