    Key Findings

    This provider’s billing is effectively single‑payer: total Medicare revenue is $418.4K and there is no Medicaid billing on file, so operations and revenue exposure are concentrated in Medicare patients only. The NPI was enumerated on 2012-04-20 (~14 years ago), indicating an established practice tenure in the market.

    Revenue concentration is high: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 66.8% of this provider’s total Medicare revenue, with 66984 contributing $171.6K (41.0%), 99214 contributing $54.1K (12.9%), and 99213 contributing $53.5K (12.8%). This concentration means a small set of services drives roughly two‑thirds of receipts, amplifying the financial impact of changes to those codes.

    The clinical mix is surgery‑oriented with substantial office care: 66984 (cataract extraction with IOL) is the single largest revenue driver (359 claims, $478 avg paid/claim, $171.6K), while 99214 and 99213 together represent significant evaluation and management volume (564 and 704 claims respectively) that supports pre‑op, post‑op, and routine glaucoma follow‑up. High use of both surgical cataract codes and mid‑to‑high complexity E/M codes suggests an ophthalmology practice that combines operating room procedures with a busy outpatient clinic.

    Diagnostic imaging is a distinct operational emphasis: 92250 appears as an outlier with 929 claims, $31 avg paid/claim, generating $28.8K and labeled an "extreme outlier" (ranks #309 of 25087, 99th percentile). That unusually high fundus photography throughput relative to peers points to heavy reliance on imaging workflows and could indicate a centralized imaging service or protocol that generates many billable imaging events per patient.

    Competitive standing varies by service line. For the top surgical code 66984 the provider ranks #3592 of 15965 (77th percentile), characterized as typical and unremarkable national volume for cataract surgery, whereas 99213 ranks #14092 of 457151 (97th percentile) and 99204 ranks #5662 of 227068 (97th percentile), both described as notably above typical national volumes—together these patterns indicate a practice that is a modest surgical participant but a high‑volume clinic for office E/M.

    Several other codes reinforce the service mix but remain small contributors: codes such as 92250 (6.9%), 99204 (5.6%), and 65820 (3.8%) fill out the portfolio, while many additional CPTs each contribute under ~3.1% of Medicare revenue. The long tail of lower‑value codes suggests revenue diversification beyond the top three, but no single secondary code approaches the top contributor’s scale.

    The absence of Medicaid activity ("none below — this provider has no Medicaid billing on file") means competitive and contracting assessments should treat this entity as effectively Medicare‑focused; payer negotiations or network development aimed at Medicaid populations are unlikely to find existing utilization. From a population‑health or access perspective, this provider does not appear to engage materially with Medicaid beneficiaries based on the available billing data.

    Operational risk is concentrated: with 66.8% of Medicare revenue tied to three codes, reimbursement policy changes or shifts in cataract surgery volume could disproportionately affect the practice. At the same time, extreme and notably above‑typical rankings for imaging and certain E/M codes underscore strengths in outpatient throughput that could be leveraged in payer discussions or capacity planning.
