    Key Findings

    This provider is effectively a Medicare-only biller: Total Medicare revenue is $2.5M and there is no Medicaid billing on file. The absence of any Medicaid claims makes the provider functionally single-payer at the state level for the data available.

    Medicare revenue is highly concentrated: the precomputed top three Medicare codes (J0178, 67028, 99213) account for 87.6% of this provider's total Medicare revenue. In absolute terms J0178 accounts for $1.8M (73.4%), 67028 for $206.8K (8.3%), and 99213 for $147.1K (5.9%), indicating a small set of services drive nearly all revenue.

    The code mix and top revenue drivers point to a procedure-centric retina practice focused on intravitreal pharmacotherapy and frequent office follow-up. J0178 (aflibercept injections) is the dominant revenue source and, together with high volumes of 67028 (intravitreal injection) and imaging/E/M codes, indicates routine in‑office injection clinic operations and chronic disease management of posterior-segment retinal disease.

    Competitive standing by code is mixed: J0178 generates the largest share of revenue ($1.8M) but ranks #269 of 3204 nationally (92th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), while 67028 ranks #254 of 4255 (94th percentile; notably above typical national volume). This pattern suggests the provider’s aflibercept revenue is large in dollar terms but the injection volume is within a broad, typical national range, whereas the separate 67028 injection code shows above-typical procedural activity versus peers.

    Several service lines show extreme national concentration: 99213 ranks #472 of 457151 (100th percentile; extreme outlier, far above typical national volume) and 92134 ranks #202 of 26868 (99th percentile; extreme outlier, far above typical national volume). These high ranks for a low-complexity E/M and for retinal imaging suggest an unusually large number of routine visits and OCT imaging studies relative to national peers, consistent with a high-volume follow-up and imaging workflow.

    Billing for J3590 (unclassified biologics) is unusually concentrated: 1.5K claims generated $102.8K (4.1% of Medicare revenue) and the code ranks #4 of 631 nationally (100th percentile; extreme outlier). The very high national rank for an unclassified biologics code is notable among the provider’s top-25 codes and may reflect systematic use of a catch-all biologics code in the practice’s drug billing mix.

    Surgical and procedural retina activity is present but limited relative to injection and imaging volumes: 67042 (pars plana vitrectomy) appears with 24 claims and $20.8K (0.8% of Medicare revenue) and 67228 (panretinal/ focal laser) appears with 46 claims and $11.7K (0.5%). These lower-volume surgical entries indicate occasional operative interventions in addition to the dominant injection-and-imaging outpatient work.

    The provider has an established billing history: NPI was enumerated 2009-02-13 (~17 years ago), which—combined with sustained Medicare revenues and the concentrated, procedure-heavy code mix—suggests a long-running, stable retina specialty practice focused on outpatient injections, imaging, and follow-up care.
