SLTLBK ASSOCIATES, LLC’s billing profile is dominated by high-volume cataract and intraocular procedures, with the dataset showing large activity in cataract extraction and lens implantation codes such as 66984, 66991 and related cataract codes. The presence of substantial claims for irrigation solution J1097 and multiple intraocular lens/device codes indicates the practice operates as a surgical ophthalmology clinic focused on operative anterior segment care rather than predominantly office-based medical management.
Medicare revenue is highly concentrated: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes (66984, J1097, 66991) account for 80.3% of the provider’s $3.6M in Medicare revenue, with 66984 alone representing 54.3% of Medicare revenue. This concentration points to a small set of procedure types driving most of the provider’s Medicare reimbursement stream.
Medicaid activity is minimal and concentrated: total Medicaid revenue is $15K and is entirely attributable to 66984 (39 claims, $384 avg paid/claim), which the data flags as 100.0% of the provider’s Medicaid revenue. The provider ranks #45 of 81 in-state for 66984 (45th percentile), indicating only modest Medicaid procedural volume compared with state peers.
The payer mix is effectively Medicare-dominant: Medicare revenue ($3.6M) dwarfs Medicaid revenue ($15K), so publicly reported activity is overwhelmingly driven by Medicare patients and procedures. For payer-strategy and access analyses, this profile should be treated as a Medicare-centered surgical operation rather than a balanced Medicare/Medicaid practice.
On competitive standing for specific codes the practice registers as a notable national outlier on several fronts: 66984 ranks #778 of 15965 (95th percentile; notably above typical national volume), J1097 ranks #17 of 443 (96th percentile; notably above typical national volume), and 66991 ranks #16 of 1445 (99th percentile; extreme outlier, far above typical national volume). These rankings suggest the provider is a major national-volume performer for routine cataract work and an extreme outlier for certain combined IOL/drainage procedures relative to peers.
Beyond cataract surgery, the provider shows specialized service lines in oculoplastics and cornea: 67904 (ptosis repair) accounts for $118.2K and ranks #16 of 991 (98th percentile; extreme outlier), while corneal-related codes such as V2785 (processing corneal tissue) and 65756 (full corneal transplant) also appear in the top codes. The mix of eyelid surgery, corneal tissue processing, and transplant codes indicates an installed capability to deliver oculoplastic and corneal surgical services in addition to high-volume cataract care.
Operational throughput signals are strong: 66984 is reported with 2.3K claims and J1097 with 6.8K claims, which—taken together with the high share of Medicare revenue driven by a few procedure codes—points to high surgical throughput and repeated use of ophthalmic irrigation supplies consistent with an ambulatory surgery center or a multi-surgeon cataract service line. These volumes align with the provider’s high national ranks on key cataract-related codes and suggest capacity for sustained surgical caseloads.
The provider has long tenure in Medicare enrollment, with the NPI enumerated 2006-05-24 (~20 years), and the combination of longevity plus concentrated, high-volume surgical billing suggests an established specialty surgical practice. This historical presence supports interpreting the current billing mix as a stable, procedure-focused operation rather than a recent or transient billing pattern.
