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.

Key Findings

CUONG VU is an ophthalmology retina specialist with an NPI enumerated ~20 years ago (2006-06-12), indicating long-established participation in Medicare billing and a sustained practice presence in ANNAPOLIS, MD. This tenure supports continuity of specialty services and likely a mature referral network for retinal care.

Medicare is effectively the sole public payer for this provider: lifetime Medicare revenue is $3.5M while there is no Medicaid billing on file, so the practice operates with a single-payer public profile and any Medicaid-facing volume is negligible or absent.

Revenue is highly concentrated in intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy and related retinal services: the top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 84.8% of total Medicare revenue, with J0178 (aflibercept) alone contributing $2.3M (66.0% of Medicare revenue). This concentration indicates the practice’s primary service line is high-volume retinal injections for wet AMD and related macular diseases.

The provider demonstrates exceptional national volume on several retina-related codes. J0178 ranks #125 of 3204 providers nationally (96th percentile) and 92014 ranks #28 of 35415 providers nationally (100th percentile), both described as notably above typical or extreme outliers. These rankings imply CUONG VU is a major national-volume provider of aflibercept injections and highly active in comprehensive ophthalmic follow-up visits for established patients.

Other retina procedure volumes are also above typical: 92134 (retinal imaging) shows 3.4K claims and ranks #236 of 26868 providers nationally (99th percentile; extreme outlier), and 67028 (intravitreal injection procedure) has 2K claims and ranks in the 91st percentile. Together with the injection drug codes, this pattern reflects a vertically integrated retinal practice that performs imaging, diagnostic visits, and high-frequency therapeutic injections.

Some commonly used ophthalmology codes appear at more routine national levels: J2778 (ranibizumab) is at the 76th percentile and several imaging/angiography codes like 92242 and 92235 sit in mid-range percentiles. This mix suggests drug choice is concentrated toward aflibercept (J0178) with supplemental use of other agents and diagnostic procedures at expected volumes.

A few specialty drug and miscellaneous supply codes generate modest revenue but do not drive the business: J3590 (unclassified biologics) contributes $67.8K and ranks in the 17th percentile, and Q5128 (biosimilar ranibizumab-eqrn) contributes $31.8K at the 9th percentile. These low-percentile ranks indicate limited adoption or limited billing for these alternatives relative to peers.

Evaluation-and-management coding shows the practice handles significant follow-up workload: 92014 has 3.5K claims and is an extreme outlier (100th percentile), while higher-level new-patient E/M 99204 appears notably above typical (96th percentile) but with much smaller absolute revenue. This suggests a patient mix dominated by repeat established-patient visits tied to chronic retinal therapy rather than one-time new-patient consults.
