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 Hawaii for Medicaid) — rank 1 means the highest claims volume for that code.

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Hawaii 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. Hawaii (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 is effectively a Medicare-only biller: lifetime Medicare revenue is $784.8K and there is none (no Medicaid billing on file), so payer mix is highly concentrated on Medicare with no Medicaid activity to offset that exposure. The absence of Medicaid billing suggests the practice’s patient panel and reimbursement strategy are oriented toward Medicare beneficiaries rather than dual-eligible or state-covered populations.

Medicare revenue is highly concentrated in a very small set of services: the precomputed top three Medicare codes account for 80.9% of this provider's total Medicare revenue. The three drivers are 65778 ($425K, 54.1% of total Medicare revenue), 92014 ($175.9K, 22.4%), and 92012 ($34.2K, 4.4%), indicating that a handful of procedures and exam codes dominate earnings.

The code mix points to a specialized practice model emphasizing ocular surface procedures and high-volume clinical exams plus diagnostic testing. 65778 (amniotic membrane placement) is the single largest revenue source and is a procedure-oriented code, while 92014 and 92012 are comprehensive and intermediate established-patient eye exams, together implying both procedural capability and frequent follow-up or chronic-care visits.

On competitive standing, this provider ranks well above peers for several high-revenue services. 65778 ranks #15 of 592 providers nationally (97th percentile; notably above typical national volume), and 92014 ranks #266 of 35415 providers nationally (99th percentile; extreme outlier), indicating national-level prominence for those service lines rather than modest local participation.

Diagnostic and testing services are also concentrated and frequently reported at high national percentiles, consistent with a high-throughput diagnostic operation. Examples include 92133 (92133 – $18.8K revenue; ranks #238 of 24968, 99th percentile; extreme outlier), 92082 (92082 – $18.6K revenue; ranks #6 of 1475, 100th percentile; extreme outlier), and 92273 (92273 – $26.1K revenue; ranks #122 of 1106, 89th percentile), showing above-typical to extreme volumes across imaging, visual field, and electrophysiologic testing.

Several other imaging and documentation codes register notably above-typical national volumes, reinforcing the diagnostic-service orientation of the practice. For example, 92250 ($16.1K, ranks #740 of 25087, 97th percentile; notably above typical national volume), 92134 ($25.5K, ranks #2482 of 26868, 91st percentile; typical, unremarkable volume) and 92273 ($26.1K, ranks #122 of 1106, 89th percentile) together show a multi-modality diagnostic footprint rather than reliance on a single testing modality.

The provider has been established on the National Provider Identifier file since 2009-10-07 (~17 years ago), which is consistent with a mature practice that has had time to build specialized services and referral flows for higher-intensity ocular procedures and diagnostics. That tenure helps explain the concentrated revenue base and high relative ranks for several specialized codes.

From a business risk and opportunity perspective, the combination of heavy revenue concentration (80.9% from three codes) and single-payer exposure to Medicare creates both leverage and vulnerability: the practice appears well-positioned as a major provider of select high-revenue procedures and high-volume exams, but its financial performance is sensitive to changes in reimbursement, referral patterns, or utilization for those specific services. Analysts should treat this provider as a niche, Medicare-driven specialist when assessing competitive strategy or contract negotiations.
