    Key Findings

    AUSTIN STROHBEHN is a retina specialist in WEST DES MOINES with an NPI enumerated 2014-06-19 (~12 years ago). Lifetime Medicare revenue on file is $5.8M and there is no Medicaid billing on file, making this effectively a Medicare‑centric billing profile for payer analysis and competitive benchmarking.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in intravitreal biologic injections: the precomputed top three Medicare codes (J2777, J0178, J2778) account for 89.2% of the provider's Medicare revenue. The largest single contributor is J2777 (faricimab), which alone represents 52.5% of Medicare revenue and is reported as $3M from 104.2K claims at $29 avg paid/claim.

    Clinical and service‑line implications point to an injection‑focused retina practice rather than a primarily office‑visit model. The code mix—dominated by J2777 (faricimab), J0178 (aflibercept), and J2778 (ranibizumab)—combined with retinal imaging (92134) and procedure code 67028, indicates routine high-volume intravitreal therapy supported by diagnostic retinal imaging and some vitreoretinal procedures.

    J2777 is an exceptional outlier nationally: it ranks #17 of 2039 (99th percentile; extreme outlier), signaling that this provider administers faricimab at volumes far above typical peers. For payer strategists, this makes the provider a nationally prominent administrator of faricimab and a potential focal point for utilization or contracting strategies related to that agent.

    Other code‑level competitive signals are mixed: J0178 (aflibercept) contributes 28.0% of revenue and ranks #385 of 3204 (88th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), while J2778 (ranibizumab) contributes 8.7% and ranks #133 of 1208 (89th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume). These ranks show above‑median participation in aflibercept and ranibizumab but not the extreme dominance seen with J2777.

    In addition to drug codes, diagnostic imaging and procedural codes show concentrated activity: 92134 generated $114.6K (2.0% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #119 of 26868 (100th percentile; extreme outlier), while 67028 produced $271.9K (4.7%) and ranks #80 of 4255 (98th percentile; notably above typical national volume). This suggests the practice pairs high injection volume with substantial retinal imaging and separate intravitreal procedure billing.

    E/M and office visit revenue is a small share of the profile: 99213 ($33.8K, 0.6%) and 99214 ($32.3K, 0.6%) together represent a minor portion of Medicare revenue. That pattern reinforces that most reimbursement comes from drug administrations and imaging rather than routine office evaluation and management.

    From a payer exposure and operational risk perspective, the provider's dependence on a single high‑volume drug code (J2777 at 52.5%) and the top‑3 concentration of 89.2% create sensitivity to changes in drug pricing, utilization guidelines, or coverage policy. Combined with no Medicaid billing on file, shifts in Medicare drug reimbursement or clinical guidance for faricimab would disproportionately affect this provider's revenue profile.
