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

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to North Carolina 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. North Carolina (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

The provider’s revenue profile is effectively single‑payer: lifetime Medicare revenue is $2.9M while Medicaid shows none on file, indicating this NPI operates without measurable Medicaid billing. Revenue is highly concentrated in a small set of services, with the top 3 Medicare codes accounting for 87.1% of total Medicare revenue.

Revenue concentration is extreme around intravitreal therapies and a core procedure: J2777 accounts for $1.6M (54.4% of Medicare revenue), J0178 accounts for $757.9K (26.4%), and 67028 accounts for $179.8K (6.3%). These three codes together dominate billings and drive the vast majority of Medicare income for this practitioner.

The code mix is consistent with a retina‑focused ophthalmology practice that is primarily delivering intravitreal pharmacologic treatments and diagnostic imaging rather than broad multispecialty ophthalmic care. High revenue and claim counts for J2777, J0178, J2778, J9035 and strong volumes in retinal imaging codes such as 92134 and 92235 indicate medical retina services (injections + multimodal imaging) are the practice’s principal service line, while lower‑share surgical codes (67036, 67042) suggest some concurrent surgical work but at a much smaller scale.

J2777 performance is nationally prominent: the provider ranks #82 of 2039 (96th percentile) for this code and is described as "notably above typical national volume for this code," making them a major national user of faricimab relative to peers. That high J2777 share ($1.6M) is the single largest revenue driver and distinguishes the provider competitively in the faricimab treatment space.

Diagnostic imaging is another standout: 92134 appears as an "extreme outlier, far above typical national volume for this code" with $94K in revenue and a rank of #314 of 26868 (99th percentile). This combination of very high retinal imaging and very high injection volume is consistent with a practice organized around frequent monitoring and treatment of retinal disease.

Visit-level E/M patterns show above‑typical office throughput: 99213 yields $40.6K and ranks #14807 of 457151 (97th percentile) with the descriptor "notably above typical national volume for this code," indicating sustained follow‑up and chronic disease management capacity in the outpatient setting. Additionally, 99204 is an "extreme outlier, far above typical national volume for this code" suggesting more new patient encounters at higher complexity than is typical for peers.

Surgical retinal procedures are present but represent a small portion of revenue: 67036 ($17K) and 67042 ($17.4K) together account for a fraction of Medicare income and their ranks are in mid‑range nationally (70th and 47th percentiles respectively), signaling occasional operative work rather than a surgery‑dominant practice. Ancillary procedures such as 67515 rank highly (#17 of 308, 95th percentile) but contribute minimal revenue, which may reflect selective use of specific injection techniques relative to peers.

This NPI has longevity in the market, enumerated 2007-01-09 (~19 years ago), which supports a stable practice history; combined with the concentrated, high‑percentile utilization in retina injections and imaging, the profile is that of a long‑standing, medically retina‑oriented ophthalmology practice with national‑level prominence for certain injectable therapies.
