    Key Findings

    Medicare revenue is highly concentrated: the precomputed top 3 codes by revenue account for 82.1% of this provider's total Medicare revenue, with J0178 alone representing $1.3M and 70.7% of the $1.8M Medicare total. This concentration indicates that most of the provider's Medicare income depends on high-volume intravitreal drug administration.

    Clinical mix and service line align with retina specialty practice: the dominant code J0178 (1.8K claims, $690 avg paid/claim, $1.3M revenue) and additional injectable codes such as J2778 (323 claims) and Q5128 (195 claims) point to routine intravitreal pharmacologic therapy as the core service. High volumes of retinal imaging (92134: 1.8K claims, $32 avg paid/claim, $56.7K revenue) and established-patient comprehensive exams (92014: 1.1K claims, $92 avg paid/claim, $96.6K revenue) support an operating model built around recurring injection clinics with same-day or serial diagnostics.

    Payer mix is effectively single-payer: the profile shows Total Medicare revenue of $1.8M and no Medicaid billing on file, so this provider operates at scale only in the Medicare program according to available data. Analysts should treat this as a Medicare-centric revenue base rather than a mixed Medicaid–Medicare practice.

    Competitive standing on injections is solid but not dominant: J0178 ranks #601 of 3204 providers nationally (81th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code), indicating substantial activity but not market-leading volume for aflibercept injections. By contrast, evaluation and imaging codes are comparatively strong — 92014 ranks #1495 of 35415 (96th percentile; notably above typical national volume) and 92134 ranks #1252 of 26868 (95th percentile; notably above typical national volume) — suggesting above-average throughput of office visits and OCT imaging relative to national peers.

    Use of high-cost, low-volume drug codes is noticeable: J3590 (22 claims, $2120 avg paid/claim, $46.6K revenue) and J3490 (24 claims, $1695 avg paid/claim, $40.7K revenue) each contribute modest revenue but carry much higher avg paid/claim values and rank low nationally (J3590 ranks #563 of 631 providers nationally, 9th percentile; J3490 ranks #2482 of 2838 providers nationally, 12th percentile). These entries suggest infrequent use of unclassified biologics or bespoke drug billing that could reflect occasional off-label or specialty-supply purchases.

    Operational tempo is consistent with chronic retinal disease management: high claim counts for recurring services — J0178 (1.8K claims), 92134 (1.8K claims), and 92014 (1.1K claims) — indicate a steady cadence of repeat visits, imaging, and injections typical of long-term intravitreal therapy protocols. This pattern implies predictable appointment and medication utilization cycles important for capacity and drug-supply planning.

    Service breadth remains focused on ambulatory ophthalmology with adjunct diagnostics: beyond injections and OCT, the provider bills for ancillary retinal diagnostics and procedural codes such as 92235 (47 claims, $114 avg paid/claim), 92250 (230 claims, $20 avg paid/claim), and 76512 (35 claims), indicating in-office diagnostic imaging and photographic services commonly used in retinal disease monitoring. The presence of both evaluation (92014, 92004) and procedure codes (67028) confirms a combined clinic-and-procedure workflow.

    Practice tenure is long-established: the NPI was enumerated 2006-05-11 (~20 years ago), indicating roughly two decades of enrollment and likely continuity of practice that aligns with the high cumulative Medicare revenue and recurring-treatment billing patterns observed. This longevity supports interpreting the current coding mix as steady-state practice behavior rather than a short-term anomaly.
