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.

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

Key Findings

This provider is effectively single-payer at present: total Medicare revenue is $3.3M and there is no Medicaid billing on file. The absence of any Medicaid claims indicates Medicare dominates this provider’s public-payer mix and any Medicaid exposure is currently nil.

Revenue is highly concentrated in a small number of procedure codes: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 87.1% of total Medicare revenue, led by J0178 at $2M (60.2% of Medicare revenue), J2777 at $724.1K (22.2%), and 67028 at $154.9K (4.7%). This degree of concentration signals that a few high-volume/high-value interventions drive the practice’s Medicare economics.

The code mix points to a retina-centric, procedure-driven ophthalmology practice: dominant codes include intravitreal injection pharmaceuticals and vitreous injections (J0178, J2777, J2778 and 67028), and high-volume retinal imaging (92134). Frequent use of J0178 (aflibercept) and J2777 (faricimab) indicates routine administration of anti-VEGF and related biologic therapies as a core revenue-generating service.

Competitive standing varies by service line. For the top drug J0178 the provider ranks #211 of 3204 providers nationally (93th percentile; notably above typical national volume for this code), indicating a nationally significant presence for aflibercept injections; J2777 ranks #368 of 2039 (82th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), and 67028 ranks #660 of 4255 (84th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), showing strong but more modest positions for other high-revenue procedures.

Several procedure codes are statistical outliers in national volume, suggesting operational scale in imaging and certain consult types: 92134 ranks #455 of 26868 providers nationally (98th percentile; extreme outlier, far above typical national volume for this code), and 99204 ranks #2589 of 227068 providers nationally (99th percentile; extreme outlier, far above typical national volume for this code). These outlier ranks point to unusually high throughput for retinal imaging and a notable level of high-complexity new-patient evaluations relative to peers.

Clinical visit coding contributes a small share of dollars relative to injections: 99214 produced $66.9K (2.1% of Medicare revenue) across 712 claims and 99213 produced $30.7K (0.9%), while 92014 added $41.1K (1.3%). This mix—procedure and drug-dominant revenue with modest E/M income—suggests operations are optimized around procedures and treatment visits rather than office-based evaluation as the primary revenue driver.

Operational and financial implications follow from heavy reliance on biologic injectables: J0178 shows $692 avg paid/claim and drives $2M in revenue, while J2777 shows $28 avg paid/claim and drives $724.1K. High dependence on these pharmaceuticals makes the practice’s revenue sensitive to drug utilization patterns, payer coverage decisions, and inventory/supply management for intravitreal agents.

The provider has a longstanding enrollment history, with NPI enumerated 2008-03-07 (~18 years ago), indicating an established presence in Salisbury, MD. Tenure combined with the high-volume drug and imaging patterns supports the interpretation of an experienced, procedure-focused ophthalmology practice with a sustained Medicare patient base.
