    Key Findings

    This provider’s revenue mix is concentrated in intravitreal pharmacologic therapy and retinal procedure codes, consistent with a retina specialist practice: J0178 shows 1.7K claims, $689 avg paid/claim, $1.2M revenue (62.8% of Medicare revenue), J2777 shows 12.5K claims, $29 avg paid/claim, $363.7K revenue (19.5%), and 67028 shows 1.4K claims, $98 avg paid/claim, $141.4K revenue (7.6%). The top three codes together account for 89.9% of the provider’s Medicare revenue, indicating operations are heavily focused on intravitreal injections plus associated retina-focused procedures and follow-up visits.

    Revenue concentration is extreme around a small set of drug and injection codes: the precomputed top-3 share is 89.9% of Medicare revenue, with J0178 alone representing $1.2M of the $1.9M total Medicare revenue. This degree of concentration implies the practice’s financial performance on Medicare is highly dependent on anti-VEGF and related intravitreal therapies.

    Payer mix is effectively single‑payer Medicare: lifetime Medicare revenue is $1.9M while Medicaid shows none on file. With no Medicaid billing reported, the provider’s public-payer exposure is concentrated entirely in Medicare, which has implications for contracting and referral strategies that assume Medicare-dominant volumes.

    On competitive standing for the top revenue drivers the provider is a solid but not dominant national participant: J0178 ranks #689 of 3204 providers nationally (79th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), J2777 ranks #842 of 2039 (59th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), and 67028 ranks #851 of 4255 (80th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume). These percentiles indicate above-average engagement in these services relative to many peers but do not reflect national dominance in volume for those codes.

    There are notable statistical outliers in the provider’s Medicare mix: J3590 (unclassified biologics) is billed 699 times for $48.2K and is described as 94th percentile (notably above typical national volume), and 92134 (computerized retinal imaging) has 1.6K claims for $47.3K and is in the 95th percentile (notably above typical national volume). These elevated percentiles suggest the practice uses OCT/imaging and some unclassified biologic billing more frequently than most peers, which may reflect specific clinical preferences or case mix.

    Diagnostic and ancillary retinal testing comprises a meaningful though smaller share of revenue: 92134 accounts for $47.3K (2.5% of Medicare revenue) and 92235 fluorescein angiography accounts for $17.3K (0.9%). High claim counts for imaging paired with the 95th-percentile rank for 92134 point to a workflow that integrates frequent retinal imaging alongside injection-based treatment.

    Surgical retina and more resource‑intensive procedures appear to be a minor component of revenue: 67042 (vitreous removal with ILM peeling) shows 17 claims and $14.5K (0.8% of Medicare revenue) and 67039 shows 11 claims and $7.9K (0.4%). This pattern reinforces that the practice’s primary service line is medical retina/intravitreal injection management rather than high-volume vitreoretinal surgery.

    Provider tenure is long-standing: the NPI was enumerated on 2005-12-09 (~21 years ago), indicating an established clinical presence. Combined with the concentrated injection-focused revenue profile, the long tenure suggests sustained specialization in retina services over time rather than a recent shift in practice focus.
