    Key Findings

    This provider reports $4M in lifetime Medicare revenue and has no Medicaid billing on file, so the practice is effectively single‑payer in the claims data provided. The absence of any Medicaid claims suggests limited exposure to state program reimbursement dynamics and indicates Medicare beneficiaries drive the entirety of recorded public-payer volume for this NPI.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in a small set of retinal drug codes: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 87.3% of this provider’s total Medicare revenue, led by J0178 at $2.9M (71.9% of Medicare revenue). This concentration means most of the provider’s public-payer revenue is dependent on a few high-value intravitreal therapies rather than a broad mix of office‑based E/M or surgical procedures.

    The code mix and descriptions point to a retina-focused ophthalmology practice centered on intravitreal anti‑VEGF therapy and associated diagnostic imaging. The top-selling codes — J0178 (aflibercept), J2777 (faricimab-svoa), and J2778 (ranibizumab) — are injectable retinal pharmaceuticals, and high counts of injection and imaging CPTs indicate ongoing, chronic-treatment workflows typical of neovascular AMD and diabetic macular edema management.

    Procedure and diagnostic claim volumes underline a high-throughput injection and imaging operation: 92134 appears with 2.9K claims and $80.1K revenue and is labeled an "extreme outlier" (ranks #464 of 26868 providers nationally, 98th percentile), while 67028 appears with 2.1K claims and $200.1K revenue and is "notably above typical national volume" (ranks #334 of 4255 providers nationally, 92th percentile). These volumes are consistent with frequent retinal injections supported by substantial OCT/retinal imaging capacity and separate intravitreal injection billing.

    Competitive standing varies by code: the provider ranks highly on aflibercept use (J0178 ranks #55 of 3204 nationally, 98th percentile and described as "notably above typical national volume"), indicating a major national presence for that product; by contrast, J2777 (ranks #893 of 2039, 56th percentile) and J2778 (ranks #285 of 1208, 76th percentile) are in more typical national volume bands. This pattern suggests leadership in aflibercept utilization specifically, while participation in other retinal drug markets is moderate.

    Reimbursement mix shows both high-dollar and low-dollar items driving revenue: J0178 carries an average paid/claim of $690, J2778 averages $182 paid/claim, and J2777 averages $29 paid/claim. The combination of a high average paid per J0178 claim and large claim volume explains why a single drug code dominates revenue, making the practice sensitive to drug‑specific utilization and pricing shifts.

    Operationally, the provider’s long tenure (NPI enumerated 2006-10-25, ~20 years ago) is consistent with an established retinal practice capable of maintaining a chronic-treatment patient panel. That longevity, combined with the concentrated revenue mix and documented high procedure volumes, suggests a stable, procedure-driven business model focused on ongoing intravitreal therapy.

    From a strategic and risk perspective, heavy dependence on one therapeutic code (J0178 at $2.9M) and the lack of Medicaid billing constrains diversification of payer risk and could amplify the financial impact of changes in drug utilization patterns, reimbursement, or guideline shifts. For payers and contracting teams, this profile signals a high-volume Medicare retina provider whose reimbursement sensitivity will be concentrated around intravitreal drug pricing and access rather than broad-based outpatient E/M or surgical case mix.
