Why are Medicare and Medicaid shown separately instead of combined?

They come from two different CMS data sources with no shared claim identifier, so they can't be reconciled into one number without double-counting or guessing. Every table and chart on this page keeps them fully separate.

Why is there no private/commercial revenue figure?

Private and commercial payer data comes from Transparency in Coverage files, which only publish negotiated rates — not claims or utilization volume. Without a volume figure, no revenue number can be computed for any provider from that data.

What does "Rank" mean in the Competitive Analysis & Benchmarks tables?

For a given CPT/HCPCS code, it's this provider's position by claims volume among all providers billing that same code at that geography level (State, National, or Utah for Medicaid) — rank 1 means the highest claims volume for that code.

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to Utah only?

Medicaid is administered per-state with no single national fee schedule, so a state or national comparison the way Medicare has one isn't available. Utah (this provider's own state) is the only grouping that's conceptually meaningful.

Why are the numbers rounded to the nearest 10?

To avoid implying more precision than the underlying data supports at a single-provider level. Ratios are kept precise since they're a relative comparison, not a volume or dollar figure.

How current is this data?

The Medicare and Medicaid tables are both single current snapshots, not refreshed on a recurring schedule yet.

Key Findings

This provider’s Medicare billing is concentrated in intravitreal injection products: J0178 accounts for $356.9K (50.8% of Medicare revenue), J2777 accounts for $130.5K (18.6%), and 67028 accounts for $75.6K (10.8%); these three codes together drive 80.2% of the provider’s total Medicare revenue, indicating a practice built around medical retina injections. The dominance of these specific codes points to a high-volume ambulatory injection service line rather than broad primary eye care revenue streams.

AKBAR SHAKOOR is effectively single‑payer in the data set: total Medicare revenue is $702.4K and there is no Medicaid billing on file. The absence of Medicaid activity means payer mix analysis should treat this profile as Medicare‑centric when evaluating reimbursement risk and market access.

Competitive standing on the primary drug code is modest: J0178 ranks #1896 of 3204 providers nationally (41th percentile) and is labeled “typical, unremarkable volume,” so although J0178 generates half the provider’s Medicare dollars, the provider is not a national leader in aflibercept injections by volume. J2777 also shows routine national volume (rank #1601 of 2039, 21th percentile) despite contributing a meaningful share of revenue.

Diagnostic imaging appears to be a relative strength: 92134 produced $29.4K (4.2% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #1553 of 26868 providers nationally (94th percentile), characterized as “notably above typical national volume.” This suggests the practice pairs high injection volume with above‑average posterior segment imaging, which supports medical retina follow‑up and treatment decisions.

The provider performs some surgical retina procedures but at modest volume: 67036 contributed $14.6K (2.1% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #262 of 832 providers nationally (66th percentile), and 67042 contributed $12.9K (1.8%) with a lower relative rank (25th percentile). These figures indicate occasional operative interventions consistent with an outpatient retina practice that primarily delivers injections and diagnostics.

Practice coding for office E/M visits is present but not dominant: 99214 and 99215 together account for a minority of revenue ($19.2K and $11.1K respectively) and sit in typical volume percentiles (74th and 81th); 92014 generates $38.9K (5.5%) and ranks in the 90th percentile. This mix indicates the provider bills both procedural and evaluation services, with more revenue tied to procedures and imaging than to routine E/M visits.

Choice of anti‑VEGF agents shows reliance on branded products: J0178 (aflibercept) and J2777 (faricimab) together make up the bulk of drug revenue, while J9035 (bevacizumab) accounts for only $3.8K (0.5% of Medicare revenue) and sits at the 30th percentile. That pattern suggests a treatment approach favoring on‑label, branded injectables over bevacizumab in the Medicare population.

The provider has long tenure in the Medicare dataset, with an NPI enumeration date of 2007-06-08 (~19 years ago), supporting the interpretation that current patterns reflect an established ophthalmology/retina practice rather than a newly formed billing pattern. Analysts should consider this longevity when comparing to peers and when assessing stability of service lines over time.
