    Key Findings

    This provider’s Medicare business is concentrated in intravitreal drug administration and retinal diagnostics, consistent with a retina-focused ophthalmology practice. The top drug code J0178 shows 3.9K claims, $690 avg paid/claim, and $2.7M revenue (62.7% of this provider's total Medicare revenue), and other intravitreal drug codes such as J2777 and J2778 also appear in the top line items; imaging codes like 92134 and 92235 further support a high-volume retinal monitoring workflow.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in a very small set of services: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 84.6% of this provider's total Medicare revenue. In particular, J0178 ($2.7M, 62.7%), J2777 ($718.6K, 16.8%), and 67028 ($216.9K, 5.1%) dominate the $4.3M lifetime Medicare revenue, indicating the practice derives most of its Medicare dollars from a narrow mix of high-value injectable therapies and related procedures.

    Payer mix is effectively single-payer at the claims level: this provider has $4.3M in total Medicare revenue and no Medicaid billing on file, so Medicare is the primary — and essentially sole — public payer in the dataset. This concentration means reimbursement or utilization changes in Medicare drug or retina procedure policies would disproportionately affect the provider’s revenue.

    Competitive standing on key injection and imaging codes is strong nationally for some items and typical for others. The provider ranks #77 of 3204 for J0178 (98th percentile, notably above typical national volume) and #251 of 4255 for 67028 (94th percentile, notably above typical national volume), while J2777 sits at #396 of 2039 (81th percentile, typical, unremarkable volume) and J2778 is #427 of 1208 (65th percentile, typical, unremarkable volume).

    The provider is a long-tenured enumerant with NPI registered on 2005-07-12 (~21 years ago), indicating an established local presence and sustained Medicare participation. That tenure, combined with large volumes on chronic-treatment codes, suggests an ongoing ambulatory retina practice rather than a transient or recently opened clinic.

    Diagnostic and follow-up services are a clear operational emphasis: 92134 appears with 4K claims, $32 avg paid/claim, $127.8K revenue (3.0% of total) and is labeled an extreme outlier, far above typical national volume, while office E/M code 99214 shows 841 claims, $94 avg paid/claim, $79.1K revenue (1.9% of total) and is described as notably above typical national volume. These patterns indicate regular, high-frequency monitoring visits and imaging consistent with ongoing management of chronic retinal disease.

    The practice also performs surgical and advanced procedural retina work in addition to injections: codes such as 67042 (27 claims, $893 avg paid/claim, $24.1K revenue) and 67036 (17 claims, $590 avg paid/claim, $10K revenue) appear in the top list, showing a nontrivial surgical footprint. While surgical volumes are smaller by revenue share, their presence alongside high injection volume suggests capacity for both ambulatory injection clinics and selected operative interventions.

    Adoption patterns for newer or less-established therapies are mixed: J2777 (faricimab) shows large claim volume with 24.8K claims, $29 avg paid/claim, $718.6K revenue (16.8% of total) and is rated typical, unremarkable volume, while J2781 (pegcetacoplan) has 270 claims, $120 avg paid/claim, $32.4K revenue (0.8% of total) and is also described as typical, unremarkable volume. This indicates the provider actively uses multiple drug therapies for retinal disease but does not present an outlier adoption pattern for the lesser-represented agents according to the supplied national comparisons.
