    Key Findings

    This provider reports Total Medicare revenue of $3M and has no Medicaid billing on file, making the practice effectively single-payer (Medicare) in the claims dataset. The precomputed top-3 Medicare codes account for 81.8% of Medicare revenue, indicating a highly concentrated Medicare revenue base.

    The top revenue-driving codes—J0178, Q5128, and 67028—are all intravitreal drug administration and injection procedures, which signals a retina-focused ophthalmology practice built around high-volume, office-based injectable therapies and associated procedure support. The code mix suggests day-to-day operations are dominated by anti-VEGF and other intravitreal pharmacologic treatments rather than surgical retina or general ophthalmology as the primary revenue driver.

    Revenue concentration is pronounced: J0178 alone represents 61.1% of Medicare revenue and Q5128 adds 15.6%, with the three leading codes together accounting for the precomputed 81.8% share of Medicare revenue. This reliance on a small set of high-cost injectable therapy codes creates a narrow revenue profile that is sensitive to changes in drug mix, reimbursement, or utilization of those specific therapies.

    Competitive standing for the top injectables is mixed: J0178 (2.6K claims, $694 avg paid/claim, $1.8M revenue) ranks #282 of 3204 providers nationally (91th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code), Q5128 (2.2K claims, $214 avg paid/claim, $461.2K revenue) ranks #62 of 373 providers nationally (84th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code), and 67028 (1.7K claims, $89 avg paid/claim, $149.1K revenue) ranks #614 of 4255 providers nationally (86th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code). These positions indicate a solid, above-average presence on nationally tracked injectable services but not a dominant national outlier.

    Imaging and monitoring services show distinctive volume: 92134 has 2.7K claims and $76.5K revenue (2.6% of Medicare revenue) and is labeled an "extreme outlier, far above typical national volume" (ranks #531 of 26868 providers nationally, 98th percentile). High retinal imaging volume is consistent with an active injection practice requiring frequent diagnostics and monitoring, and it represents an important operational complement to the drug administration revenue stream.

    Office evaluation and management and ancillary ophthalmology codes are also prominent relative to peers: 99214 (793 claims, $61.1K revenue) ranks #19977 of 479517 providers nationally (96th percentile; notably above typical national volume) and 92250 (457 claims, $11.9K revenue) ranks #1415 of 25087 providers nationally (94th percentile; notably above typical national volume). These elevated percentiles indicate consistent follow-up and chronic disease management capacity supporting the high injection and imaging volumes.

    J3490 (unclassified drugs) accounts for $69.1K revenue from 39 claims with a $1773 avg paid/claim and is reported at a 31th percentile national rank, which makes it a modest contributor to revenue but notable for the very high average payment per claim. The presence of unclassified drug billing at a high per-claim payment suggests occasional use of nonstandard or high-cost injectable items that are being billed outside specific HCPCS drug codes and may warrant coding review for payer contracts or utilization management.

    The provider has a long tenure in the Medicare dataset, with the NPI enumerated 2006-06-13 (~20 years ago), consistent with an established referral base and mature practice workflows that would support sustained high volumes of intravitreal injections, frequent imaging, and ongoing E/M follow-up for chronic retinal conditions.
