    Key Findings

    MAX JOHNSON's billing is almost exclusively Medicare-driven: total Medicare revenue is $2.8M while there is no Medicaid billing on file, making this effectively a single-payer (Medicare) practice based on available claims data. The absence of any Medicaid codes in the Top 25 and the explicit note "none below — this provider has no Medicaid billing on file" suggest limited or no participation in state Medicaid reimbursement streams.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in intravitreal drug administration: the precomputed top-3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 87.7% of this provider's total Medicare revenue, driven primarily by J0178 (63.2%), J2777 (19.5%), and 67028 (5.0%). This concentration indicates the practice’s financial performance depends heavily on a small set of high-revenue retinal injection services.

    The code mix and descriptions point to a retina-focused, injection-centric service line: J0178 (Injection, aflibercept) shows 2.6K claims, $675 avg paid/claim, $1.8M revenue and J2777 (Injection, faricimab-svoa) shows 20.2K claims, $27 avg paid/claim, $545.9K revenue, while 67028 (intravitreal injection as an isolated procedure) contributes $139.1K. In addition, high volumes of diagnostic imaging codes (for example, 92134 with 2.2K claims and $65.2K revenue) confirm a practice workflow built around retinal injections supported by retinal imaging and follow-up exams.

    Competitive standing is mixed across service lines: for the primary revenue driver J0178 the provider ranks #274 of 3204 nationally (91th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code), and for J2777 the provider ranks #518 of 2039 (75th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code), indicating solid but not dominant national positioning in anti-VEGF administration. By contrast, diagnostic and exam codes are relatively strong—92014 ranks #2035 of 35415 (94th percentile; notably above typical national volume for this code) and 92134 ranks #827 of 26868 (97th percentile; notably above typical national volume for this code)—suggesting the provider is above-typical nationally for retinal imaging and comprehensive ophthalmologic follow-up.

    Clinical breadth includes multiple anti-VEGF agents and retinal procedures: in addition to J0178 and J2777, J2778 (ranibizumab) appears with 769 claims and $136.1K revenue and 67028 is separately billed for intravitreal injection procedures. The presence of several drug codes and procedure codes together implies routine use of multiple medication options and concurrent procedural billing patterns typical for a retina specialist.

    Evaluation-and-management and chronic care management services are present but represent a small share of revenue: 99213 accounts for 326 claims and $19.2K (0.7% of Medicare revenue), 99214 for 122 claims and $10.7K (0.4%), and chronic care management codes 99426/99427 together contribute a modest portion of revenue. These volumes and their national ranks are described as typical or unremarkable for most E/M and care-management codes, indicating the practice’s financial profile is driven more by procedure/drug revenue than by office visit billing.

    The provider has long-standing enrollment: NPI enumerated (registered) 2005-12-19 (~21 years ago), which indicates an established practice presence and multi-year participation in Medicare billing. That tenure, combined with high imaging volumes and concentrated injection revenue, suggests an entrenched retina practice model rather than a recent or transient billing pattern.

    Operational and contracting implications: with $2.8M in Medicare revenue and no Medicaid activity on file, payers assessing network value should view this provider chiefly as a Medicare-focused retina specialist whose negotiating leverage and utilization patterns will be driven by high-cost injectable drugs (notably J0178 at $1.8M revenue) and above-typical retinal imaging volumes (92014 and 92134). The combination of concentrated drug/procedure revenue and strong imaging/exam activity is important for forecasting cost and access impacts in payer networks.
