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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to South Dakota 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. South Dakota (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

This provider’s billing is effectively single‑payer Medicare: lifetime Medicare revenue is $904.5K and there is no Medicaid billing on file, indicating Medicare dominates the payer mix for this NPI. Analysts should treat Medicaid exposure as negligible when modeling payer risk or access patterns for this clinician.

Revenue is highly concentrated in a very small set of codes: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 80.3% of total Medicare revenue, and a single code, J0178, generates $617.3K (68.3% of Medicare revenue) across 892 claims. That concentration signals substantial dependence on aflibercept injections for the provider’s topline and creates sensitivity to changes in drug utilization or reimbursement for that code.

The code mix shows a clinical focus on intravitreal pharmacologic therapy and ongoing medical retina management: J0178 (aflibercept injection) and 67028 (vitreous chamber injection; 616 claims, $59.8K revenue) together dominate the therapeutic side, while 92012 (777 claims, $49K revenue) reflects frequent intermediate‑level established patient exams. This combination is consistent with a practice model centered on recurring injection visits and monitoring of chronic retinal disease rather than a primarily surgical practice.

Although injections and medical retina work are dominant, the provider also bills surgical cataract services: 66984 appears with 123 claims and $45.9K revenue (5.1% of Medicare revenue), indicating the clinician performs or is credited for routine extracapsular cataract extraction with lens insertion at a meaningful but secondary scale. The presence of cataract procedure codes alongside high injection volume suggests a mixed clinical scope where surgery exists but is not the primary revenue driver.

On competitive standing for the top revenue driver, J0178 ranks #1399 of 3204 providers nationally (56th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), so nationally this clinician is a mid‑tier participant in aflibercept administration rather than a dominant injector. Despite the large dollar share J0178 represents for this NPI, the rank/percentile show the provider’s injection volumes are within common national practice patterns for this drug.

By contrast, the clinician’s diagnostic exam volume is comparatively strong: 92012 ranks #812 of 17177 providers nationally (95th percentile; notably above typical national volume), which indicates unusually high throughput of intermediate established‑patient eye exams relative to peers. That elevated exam volume aligns with chronic disease follow‑up and supports the inference of recurring visit patterns that accompany injection protocols.

Retinal imaging utilization reinforces the medical‑retina orientation: 92134 appears with 769 claims and $23.1K revenue and ranks #2600 of 26868 providers nationally (90th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume). High OCT imaging counts relative to the broader ophthalmology population are consistent with routine monitoring of macular disease in an injection‑focused practice.

This NPI has long tenure on file (NPI enumerated 2009-08-03 (~17 years ago)), which, when combined with the observed code mix and high concentration in J0178, suggests an established clinical pattern emphasizing recurring medical retina care. For payers and market analysts, that implies predictable recurrent visit and drug‑utilization patterns but also exposure to policy or formulary shifts affecting anti‑VEGF therapy reimbursement or utilization.
