    Key Findings

    This provider is effectively a Medicare-only practice: lifetime Medicare revenue is $6M while Medicaid billing is listed as none, indicating no Medicaid revenue on file. The NPI was enumerated 2005-09-01 (~21 years ago), consistent with long-standing Medicare participation and an established clinical footprint in BEACHWOOD, OH.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in a handful of drug and procedure codes: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 77.7% of this provider's total Medicare revenue, with a single code, J0178, representing $3.5M or 59.1% of Medicare revenue. That level of concentration implies business sensitivity to utilization or reimbursement changes for those few high-revenue items.

    The code mix identifies a retina-focused, injection-centered practice: top revenue drivers include J0178 (aflibercept), J2777 (faricimab), and J2781 (pegcetacoplan), and the standalone intravitreal injection code 67028 appears among top billings. Together these items — high-volume drug administration plus 67028 — indicate day-to-day operations are dominated by physician-administered intravitreal therapies rather than primarily surgical cases.

    J0178 is a clear national outlier: it generates $3.5M and the provider ranks #25 of 3204 nationally (99th percentile; extreme outlier), signaling unusually high aflibercept administration compared to peers. This scale for a single drug code puts the provider among the very highest national billers for that therapy.

    Other drug- and unclassified-drug activity is also notable: J2781 contributes $388.8K (6.5%) and ranks #12 of 490 (98th percentile; notably above typical national volume for this code), while J3490 contributes $549.8K (9.2%) and ranks #201 of 2838 (93rd percentile; described in the data as typical, unremarkable volume). These ranks show the provider is above peers on several specialty-retina drug codes, not only J0178.

    Clinical throughput for follow-up visits and retinal imaging is high relative to peers: 92012 has 1.6K claims and $95.1K (1.6%) with rank #157 of 17177 (99th percentile; extreme outlier), and 92134 has 3.2K claims and $89.9K (1.5%) with rank #327 of 26868 (99th percentile; extreme outlier). These volumes suggest a large established Medicare patient panel and frequent imaging-based surveillance to support the injection-centric practice.

    Surgical retina procedures are present but represent a small share of revenue and volume: codes such as 67042 ($12.8K, 0.2%), 67108 ($12.8K, 0.2%), and 67036 ($7.4K, 0.1%) appear at low counts and modest ranks. This pattern reinforces that the provider’s operations emphasize outpatient injections and diagnostics over higher-volume surgical intervention.

    From a payer- and business-risk perspective, the combination of single-payer concentration (Medicare-only), heavy reliance on a few high-revenue drug codes (top 3 = 77.7%), and extreme national outlier status on J0178 means the provider’s revenue base could be sensitive to changes in Medicare drug reimbursement, utilization management, or shifting product mix among intravitreal therapies. Analysts should prioritize monitoring policy, pricing, and utilization trends for those leading drug codes.
