    Key Findings

    BLISS O'BRYHIM is a retina specialist whose Medicare billing is dominated by high-cost intravitreal drug injections and retina imaging/procedures, consistent with a practice focused on medical retina care rather than broad ophthalmic surgery. The top revenue code is J0178 (aflibercept) generating $713.8K (47.8% of Medicare revenue), supplemented by J2777 (faricimab) with $403.7K (27.0%) and 67028 intravitreal injection with $95K (6.4%); these three codes together account for 81.2% of the provider's total Medicare revenue, indicating concentrated dependence on anti-VEGF/biologic therapies and intravitreal procedures.

    This provider’s Medicare revenue totals $1.5M while there is no Medicaid billing on file, making the practice effectively single-payer in the available data. Absence of Medicaid billing suggests either limited participation in Medicaid plans, a patient panel skewed toward Medicare-age beneficiaries, or billing relationships that do not route services through state Medicaid — but the data as reported show Medicare exclusively generating the documented lifetime revenue.

    The revenue concentration around J0178 and J2777 implies operational capacity and supply-chain handling for high-volume biologic injections: the provider reported 1K claims for J0178 and 13.9K claims for J2777, with J0178 accounting for nearly half of Medicare revenue and J2777 contributing more than a quarter. Such a code mix typically reflects frequent treatment of neovascular retinal diseases (e.g., wet AMD, diabetic macular edema) and an office workflow set up to deliver frequent intravitreal injections and associated imaging.

    Competitive standing by national percentile is mixed: the provider ranks in the 61st percentile for J0178 and the 63rd percentile for J2777, which the data label as "typical, unremarkable volume" and indicate this clinician is a modest national participant for those high-revenue drugs rather than an outsized market leader. In contrast, imaging code 92134 is at the 95th percentile and described as "notably above typical national volume," showing exceptional relative activity in retinal computerized diagnostic imaging compared with peers.

    Office evaluation and management and procedure volumes are present but secondary to injection services: codes 99213, 99212, and 99214 together generate modest shares ($36.6K, $7.4K, and $7.8K respectively) and rank at or above typical percentiles (99213 at the 96th percentile), which suggests a steady outpatient follow-up load consistent with frequent injection clinics and monitoring visits. Procedure codes for surgeries (e.g., 66984 cataract surgery, 67042 vitrectomy) appear but contribute small portions of revenue ($14.7K and $9.9K respectively), reinforcing that the primary business is medical retina rather than surgical cataract or vitrectomy volume.

    Several miscellaneous and unclassified drug/biologic codes (J3490, J3590, J9035, J9035) and imaging adjuncts (92250, 92235) appear in the top list but represent small revenue shares; J3490 produced $37.7K (2.5% of Medicare revenue) and J3590 produced $19.7K (1.3%). These items indicate occasional use or billing of non-standard drug/biologic items and supplementary imaging services, but they are not materially driving the practice’s revenue profile.

    The provider has been NPI enumerated since 2015-06-17 (~11 years ago), indicating an established practice tenure sufficient to have developed a stable referral and treatment pattern for retina services. Over that period the lifetime Medicare revenue reported is $1.5M, consistent with a focused specialty practice that concentrates earnings in recurring in-office treatments rather than large volumes of surgical procedures.
