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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Colorado 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. Colorado (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.

Key Findings

This provider’s billing footprint is effectively single‑payer: Total Medicare revenue is $2.7M and there is no Medicaid billing on file. The absence of Medicaid activity indicates the provider’s public-payer exposure is concentrated in Medicare rather than split across both programs.

Revenue is highly concentrated in a small set of intravitreal drug and injection codes: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 80.8% of total Medicare revenue, with J0178 representing $1.4M (52.9%) and J2777 representing $589.9K (22.2%). That concentration signals that a majority of Medicare dollars flow from a narrow set of pharmaceutical/injection services rather than a broad mix of E/M or surgical procedures.

The CPT/HCPCS mix is consistent with an injection‑centric retina practice: J0178 (aflibercept) and J2777 (faricimab) are the dominant revenue drivers and 67028 (intravitreal injection as an isolated procedure) appears in the top three. Combined with meaningful billing for retinal imaging (92134) and specialized ophthalmic drugs (J2781, Q5128), the pattern points to a clinic workflow built around frequent intravitreal therapies supported by diagnostic imaging.

On competitive standing for the top drug codes, this provider is a solid but not dominant national participant: J0178 ranks #527 of 3204 providers (84th percentile) and J2777 ranks #514 of 2039 providers (75th percentile), both described as "typical, unremarkable volume" in national context. These ranks indicate above‑median usage but not a market leadership position for these agents at the national level.

Diagnostic imaging is a notable strength: 92134 shows 2.1K claims and $66.2K revenue (2.5% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #911 of 26868 providers (97th percentile), described as "notably above typical national volume." This elevated OCT/retinal imaging volume aligns with high-frequency injection therapy and suggests investment in imaging capacity and interpretation workflows.

The provider bills other high-cost or non‑standard drug lines: J3490 (unclassified drugs) contributes $141.5K (5.3%) and J2781 (pegcetacoplan) contributes $120.6K (4.5%). Presence of substantial J3490 and newer agents indicates use of less conventional or specialty intravitreal treatments and some reliance on bundled/unclassified drug billing.

Surgical retina procedures are present but minor: 67041 and 67042 each only account for $11.1K (0.4% each) with low national percentiles, implying limited vitrectomy or membrane‑peel surgical volume relative to peers. The practice appears focused more on office‑based therapeutic injections and imaging than on high volumes of surgical interventions.

The NPI tenure and lifetime revenue profile support an established, mid‑sized Medicare practice: the NPI was enumerated on 2008-04-22 (~18 years ago), and lifetime Medicare revenue is $2.7M. This combination suggests operational stability and a sustained focus on retina services within the Medicare population rather than recent entry or rapid expansion.
