    Key Findings

    This provider’s public-payer footprint is effectively single‑payer: lifetime Medicare revenue is $3.6M while Medicaid is listed as none (no Medicaid billing on file), indicating no recorded Medicaid activity to date. The top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 78.7% of total Medicare revenue, so public revenue is highly concentrated.

    Clinical/service-line profile is dominated by intravitreal biologic injections and retina procedures: J0178 (aflibercept) generates $2.1M (58.0% of Medicare revenue), J2777 (faricimab) contributes $518.5K (14.5%), and 67028 (isolated intravitreal injection) adds $221.6K (6.2%). This mix is consistent with a retina specialist whose practice model emphasizes frequent anti‑VEGF injections and related procedural care.

    Revenue concentration around anti‑VEGF therapy is substantial — the precomputed top‑3 share of 78.7% highlights operational and reimbursement sensitivity to changes in injectable drug utilization or pricing. Because a majority of Medicare revenue is tied to a small set of injection codes, shifts in payer coverage or drug mix could materially affect revenue.

    Competitive standing on key retinal services is strong: J0178 ranks #183 of 3204 providers nationally (94th percentile; notably above typical national volume for this code), and 67028 ranks #332 of 4255 (92th percentile; notably above typical national volume for this code). In addition, imaging and exam volumes are extreme outliers — 92014 and 92134 both rank in the 99th percentile (92014: #413 of 35415, 92134: #140 of 26868), indicating exceptionally high throughput of comprehensive eye exams and retinal imaging relative to peers.

    The E/M and clinic visit profile shows substantial established‑patient volume but limited share of revenue: 99213 has 639 claims and $45.4K (1.3% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #17187 of 457151 providers nationally (96th percentile; notably above typical national volume for this code), while 92014 generates $169.9K (4.7%). This suggests the practice bills many office encounters but derives the bulk of dollars from drug and procedure codes rather than E/M alone.

    On ancillary services, high retina imaging volumes support in‑house diagnostics: 92134 has 3.9K claims and $133.6K (3.7% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #140 of 26868 providers nationally (99th percentile; extreme outlier). Lower‑revenue modalities such as 76512 (55 claims, $2.2K) are present, indicating a mix of imaging capabilities beyond injections.

    Presence of unclassified drug codes points to nonstandard or bundled drug billing alongside labeled biologics: J3590 accounts for $129.3K (3.6% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #388 of 631 providers nationally (38th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), and J3490 contributes $77.4K (2.2%). These entries suggest occasional use of unclassified billing lines that represent a material portion of ancillary drug revenue.

    Provider tenure is long‑standing: NPI enumerated 2005-11-21 (~21 years ago), which aligns with an established referral base and the observed high procedure and imaging volumes. Long enumeration combined with national high‑percentile rankings for core retina codes supports the view of an experienced, high‑throughput retina specialist in the Medicare market.
