    Key Findings

    This provider is essentially a Medicare-focused retina specialist: lifetime Medicare revenue is $2.6M and there is no Medicaid billing on file, indicating an effectively single-payer footprint with Medicare representing the entirety of documented public-payer volume. The lack of Medicaid claims suggests limited or no participation in state Medicaid networks and a business largely driven by Medicare-covered retina services.

    Revenue is highly concentrated: the precomputed top three Medicare codes account for 84.9% of this provider's total Medicare revenue, indicating that a small set of services drives the vast majority of reported Medicare income. That concentration raises sensitivity to shifts in drug pricing, reimbursement, or utilization patterns for those specific codes.

    The clinical and operational profile is dominated by intravitreal pharmacologic therapy and high-volume outpatient management. J0178 appears as the single largest revenue driver with 2.5K claims, $689 avg paid/claim, and $1.7M revenue (66.3% of Medicare revenue); 67028 appears with 1.9K claims, $79 avg paid/claim, and $152.8K revenue (5.9%); and 92134 (retinal imaging) shows 4.1K claims, $28 avg paid/claim, and $113.6K revenue (4.4%), together reflecting a mix of high-cost anti‑VEGF drug administration, intravitreal procedures, and routine retinal diagnostics.

    Office evaluation-and-management services are an outsized component of billed activity relative to national peers: 99214 accounts for 3.9K claims, $85 avg paid/claim, and $332.5K revenue (12.8% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #83 of 479517 (100th percentile; extreme outlier, far above typical national volume). Similarly, 92134 ranks #124 of 26868 (100th percentile; extreme outlier), reinforcing that this provider reports exceptionally high volumes of E/M and retinal imaging compared with national benchmarks.

    Despite the dominant revenue share from J0178, the provider’s national standing for that specific drug is not an extreme volume outlier: J0178 ranks #322 of 3204 providers nationally (90th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume). This pattern implies that the large revenue contribution from J0178 is driven primarily by the high per‑claim payment ($689 avg paid/claim and $1.7M total) rather than an extraordinarily unusual claim count relative to peers.

    The practice also bills a mix of newer agents and biosimilars alongside established medications, suggesting therapeutic diversity in intravitreal treatments. Examples include J2777 (faricimab) with 4K claims and $110.9K revenue (4.3%) at a lower national rank (17th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), Q5124 (ranibizumab biosimilar) with 285 claims and $46.2K revenue (1.8%), and J9035 (bevacizumab) with 501 claims and $27.6K revenue (1.1%), indicating use of both branded high-cost agents and lower-cost alternatives.

    From a competitive-stance perspective, the provider is a major national outlier on several ambulatory codes (99214, 99204, 92134) while being a more typical participant for high-revenue drug administration codes like J0178 and 67028 (both listed as typical, unremarkable volume at the 90th percentile for J0178 and 67028). This mix suggests the provider operates a high-throughput retinal clinic that is unusually busy for office visits and retinal imaging but not uniquely high in injection volumes compared with the broader specialty.

    The provider has a long tenure in the NPI registry (NPI enumerated 2006-07-19, ~20 years ago), which, combined with $2.6M in lifetime Medicare revenue, points to an established practice in Shreveport, LA with sustained Medicare activity concentrated in retina services. That longevity plus the concentrated revenue mix suggests a stable, specialized operation but one that would be materially affected by changes in reimbursement or utilization for its few top codes.
