    Key Findings

    This provider’s billed activity is effectively single‑payer: total Medicare revenue is $1M while there is no Medicaid billing on file, indicating the practice’s public-payor footprint is concentrated entirely in Medicare rather than a mix of Medicare and Medicaid. The provider’s NPI was enumerated 2005-06-15 (~21 years ago), consistent with an established solo or small-group clinical presence serving Medicare beneficiaries.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in a small set of intravitreal injection codes: the precomputed top three Medicare codes account for 88.8% of the provider’s total Medicare revenue, driven overwhelmingly by J2777 which alone represents $746.5K (74.4% of Medicare revenue) from 25.7K claims. J2778 contributes $101.9K (10.2%) and 67028 contributes $42.9K (4.3%), so financial performance is dominated by anti‑VEGF and related injection services.

    The code mix and dollar concentration point to a retina‑focused, injection‑centric ophthalmology practice: J2777 (faricimab) and J2778 (ranibizumab) are intravitreal biologic injections used to treat retinal disease, and 67028 is the procedure code for intravitreal injection. This pattern suggests the operation is organized around high-volume injection therapy for retinal conditions rather than a broad surgical cataract or comprehensive ophthalmology practice.

    Competitive standing on the top revenue driver is modest nationally: J2777 ranks #369 of 2039 providers nationally (82th percentile) and is described as typical, unremarkable volume relative to peers, while J2778 ranks #666 of 1208 (45th percentile) and 67028 ranks #2199 of 4255 (48th percentile), both likewise characterized as typical, unremarkable volume. These ranks indicate the provider is not a national outlier or dominant center for these injections, but rather a routine-volume participant in the national provider pool for these services.

    Diagnostic imaging and E/M activity show relatively stronger placement within national distributions: 92134 (retinal OCT) appears with 835 claims and $25.9K (2.6% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #2463 of 26868 providers (91th percentile), while 99214 (established patient E/M) accounts for $39.3K (3.9%) and ranks #56535 of 479517 providers (88th percentile). These higher percentiles for OCT and mid‑complexity office visits suggest a steady ambulatory and diagnostic workload that supports the injection practice.

    Surgical cataract and other ophthalmic procedures are present but low relative contributors: 66984 (cataract with IOL) generates $21.3K (2.1%) and ranks #10691 of 15965 providers (33th percentile), and 66821 (YAG capsulotomy) contributes $3.1K (0.3%) but is at the bottom of the listed distribution (#9887 of 10087 providers, 1th percentile). This profile indicates limited surgical volume and a clinical focus weighted toward medical retinal care rather than high-volume cataract surgery.

    The extreme concentration of Medicare dollars in a single biologic code creates business sensitivity to utilization or reimbursement changes: J2777 alone is $746.5K (74.4% of Medicare revenue) and the top three codes together are 88.8% of revenue, which underscores potential operational vulnerability if prescribing patterns, payer coverage, or drug pricing shift. For payer or network analysts, these figures flag that small changes in injection-related utilization would disproportionately affect the provider’s Medicare revenue base.
