    Key Findings

    This provider is a retina-focused ophthalmology practice with a clear procedural and drug-delivery profile: the three anti-VEGF intravitreal drug codes J0178, J2778, and Q5128 together account for 80.4% of Medicare revenue. Total Medicare revenue is $3.3M, and the top drug code J0178 alone generates $1.8M (56.5% of this provider's total Medicare revenue), signaling that intravitreal injections are the central revenue driver.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in a small set of high-cost drug codes: J0178 ($1.8M revenue, 56.5%), J2778 ($465K revenue, 14.3%), and Q5128 ($316K revenue, 9.7%) together make up 80.4% of Medicare receipts. That concentration creates operational dependence on anti-VEGF therapy reimbursement and on coding for injectable biologics as the primary revenue stream.

    The practice model implied by the mix of codes is a high-volume injection clinic with frequent follow-ups and retinal imaging: 67028 (2.2K claims, $93 avg paid/claim, $201.3K revenue, 6.2%) and evaluation code 92012 (2K claims, $61 avg paid/claim, $122.9K revenue, 3.8%) together reflect many procedure encounters and established-patient office visits. National-statistical labels reinforce this operational intensity: 67028 is described as "notably above typical national volume" (rank #313 of 4255, 93th percentile) and 92012 is an "extreme outlier, far above typical national volume" (rank #75 of 17177, 100th percentile), consistent with frequent follow-up and injection workflows.

    Competitive standing on flagship drug codes is above-average but not monopolistic: J0178 ranks #257 of 3204 providers nationally (92th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code), J2778 ranks #144 of 1208 (88th percentile; typical), and Q5128 ranks #93 of 373 (75th percentile; typical). These ranks indicate the provider is a meaningful national-level participant in aflibercept and ranibizumab administration, and shows above-median uptake of the ranibizumab biosimilar Q5128 relative to peers.

    The provider is effectively single-payer in the public claims data: Medicare revenue is $3.3M and there is "no Medicaid billing on file." This absence of Medicaid billing implies limited state-Medicaid exposure in the dataset and suggests the publicly billed patient mix is skewed to Medicare-eligible populations.

    Billing nuances and smaller contributors show limited diversification: an unclassified drug code J3490 appears 27 times with $1132 avg paid/claim for $30.6K revenue (0.9% of Medicare revenue) but ranks low nationally (#2361 of 2838, 15th percentile; typical), indicating a handful of high-dollar, low-volume claims. Similarly, J9035 (bevacizumab) contributes $27.2K (0.8% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #263 of 1852 (86th percentile; typical), showing the practice predominantly bills for branded anti-VEGF agents rather than relying on bevacizumab.

    Tenure data show long-standing enrollment: the NPI was enumerated on 2005-08-02 (~21 years ago), consistent with an established practice and sustained Medicare billing history. This longevity combined with concentrated revenue streams suggests operational stability but also exposure to shifts in drug pricing and formulary policy.

    Operational and payer-risk implications: because 80.4% of Medicare revenue stems from three drug codes (J0178, J2778, Q5128), the provider’s revenue is sensitive to changes in anti-VEGF reimbursement, biosimilar substitution, or formulary decisions. The combination of high-volume follow-up codes (92012, 67028) and concentrated drug billing creates both negotiating leverage for drug procurement and vulnerability to policy or market shifts that affect injectable biologic reimbursement.
