    Key Findings

    LLEWELYN RAO is a retina specialist (Ophthalmology) physician based in BEACHWOOD, OH with lifetime Medicare revenue of $3.7M and no Medicaid billing on file. The provider’s NPI was enumerated on 2007-07-03 (~19 years ago), indicating a long-established practice presence in the Medicare market.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in a small set of injectable drug codes: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 74.2% of this provider’s Medicare receipts. Specifically, J0178 accounts for 43.2% of Medicare revenue, J2777 for 24.5%, and J3490 for 6.5%, signaling heavy reliance on intravitreal pharmacologic treatments for the practice’s revenue base.

    The mix of top codes (J0178, J2777, J3490) and frequent retinal procedure and imaging codes indicates an intravitreal-injection–focused retina practice that also provides diagnostic imaging and some surgical procedures. High-volume anti-VEGF and novel retinal therapeutics billing alongside codes for vitreous injections and retinal imaging suggests day-to-day operations centered on chronic retinal disease management and monitoring.

    Competitive standing for the two largest drug codes is solid but not dominant nationally: J0178 ranks #403 of 3204 providers (87th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume) and J2777 ranks #284 of 2039 providers (86th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume). These placements indicate above-average activity for these agents compared with peers but not at an elite national scale.

    The practice shows extreme national outlier volumes for diagnostic retinal services and intermediate-level established-patient exams, which points to a monitoring-heavy workflow. Code 92134 ranks #171 of 26868 providers (99th percentile; extreme outlier, far above typical national volume) and 92012 ranks #255 of 17177 providers (99th percentile; extreme outlier, far above typical national volume), implying unusually high throughput of retina imaging and follow-up visits relative to most ophthalmology providers.

    There is evidence of adoption of newer and adjunctive retina therapeutics but with uneven uptake: J2781 (pegcetacoplan) contributes $176.4K (4.8% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #52 of 490 providers (89th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), while J0179 (brolucizumab) represents $77.4K (2.1% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #44 of 64 providers (30th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume). This pattern suggests selective use of newer agents with stronger uptake for some drugs than others.

    Surgical and procedural activity is present but secondary to injection and imaging revenue, consistent with a retina clinic that focuses on office-based therapies. For example, 67028 accounts for $177.8K (4.9% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #368 of 4255 providers (91th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), while pars-plana vitrectomy and other retinal surgery codes appear at much smaller revenue shares, indicating modest operative volume compared with injections and diagnostics.

    The payer mix is effectively single-payer at the provider level: Medicare drives the entire recorded public-payor revenue stream and Medicaid shows none on file. This concentration elevates exposure to Medicare reimbursement changes and suggests the provider’s patient panel or contractual footprint is largely Medicare-centric rather than balanced across public payers.
