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

This provider’s Medicare work is highly concentrated: total Medicare revenue is $2.7M and the top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 72.7% of that total. The three codes driving this concentration are J2777 ($1.2M, 43.8%), J0178 ($585.4K, 21.7%), and 92014 ($193.5K, 7.2%).

The code mix signals a retina-focused ophthalmology practice centered on intravitreal pharmacotherapy and diagnostic imaging. Large volumes of J2777, J0178, J2778 and J2781 (faricimab, aflibercept, ranibizumab, pegcetacoplan) combined with substantial 92134 imaging and procedures such as 67028/67036/67042 indicate routine anti-VEGF and other intravitreal treatments plus retinal diagnostic and occasional surgical services.

Despite J2777 contributing 43.8% of Medicare revenue and ranking #161 of 2039 providers nationally (92th percentile), the available description characterizes that volume as "typical, unremarkable" for the code; J0178 is also a meaningful revenue driver at 21.7% but sits nearer the middle of national peers (rank #1454 of 3204, 55th percentile). This suggests the practice relies heavily on a single high-volume injectable agent while not necessarily being an outlier in that specific national peer set.

Two codes are statistical outliers relative to national billing patterns: 92014 (2.2K claims, $193.5K, rank #187 of 35415, 99th percentile; extreme outlier) and 92134 (2.5K claims, $75.8K, rank #649 of 26868, 98th percentile; extreme outlier). These extreme volumes for a comprehensive established-patient exam and retinal imaging imply a large, steady panel of returning patients and high throughput of diagnostic services.

Several procedure codes and implants further define the service mix: 67028 (1.6K claims, $146.9K, rank #658 of 4255, 85th percentile) and J7312 (504 claims, $80.1K, rank #42 of 492, 91th percentile) show routine intravitreal procedures and implant use consistent with retina practice. By contrast, J3490 (26 claims, $56.6K, rank #2400 of 2838, 14th percentile) represents a smaller, higher-paid unclassified-drug component that is not a major share of revenue.

Clinical care management activity is notable: 99426 (465 claims, $21.9K, rank #79 of 1130, 93th percentile) and 99427 (89 claims, $3.2K, rank #88 of 408, 78th percentile) indicate that the practice bills for directed clinical staff time managing complex chronic conditions. This pattern supports a longitudinal care relationship with medically complex ophthalmic patients in addition to procedure-driven revenue.

Payer mix is effectively single-payer Medicare: lifetime Medicare revenue is $2.7M and there is no Medicaid billing on file. The absence of Medicaid claims means analysts should treat this provider as Medicare-centric when assessing payer risk, access, and population served.

The provider has an established national presence with an NPI enumerated on 2011-04-18 (~15 years ago), indicating sustained activity over time. Combined with the high-volume recurring exam and imaging codes, this tenure is consistent with a stable, established ophthalmology practice focused on retinal care and ongoing management of chronic eye disease.
