    Key Findings

    This provider's Medicare business is concentrated in intravitreal pharmacologic therapy: J0178 (aflibercept) accounts for $1.4M in Medicare revenue (58.1% of the provider's Medicare total) with 2.1K claims and ranks #512 of 3204 nationally (84th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume). J2777 (faricimab) is the second major driver with $619.4K (25.3% of Medicare revenue) on 21.4K claims and ranks #483 of 2039 (76th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume). Together with 67028, these top three codes are precomputed to represent 87.8% of this provider's total Medicare revenue, indicating extreme revenue concentration in a narrow set of retinal therapies and procedures.

    Overall scale and payer mix are effectively single-payer: lifetime Medicare revenue is $2.4M while there is none for Medicaid (no Medicaid billing on file). This makes the provider dependent on Medicare beneficiaries and Medicare reimbursement for nearly all documented public-payer revenue, with no Medicaid activity to diversify payer risk or patient mix.

    The code mix and descriptions indicate a retina-focused ophthalmology practice centered on injection-based care and diagnostic imaging. High revenue shares for J0178 and J2777 (together accounting for 83.4% when cited individually) plus the presence of 67028 (intravitreal injection procedure) point to a workflow organized around frequent intravitreal injections, while surgical retina codes (67041/67042/67036) appear at much smaller volumes, consistent with an injection-first/clinic-based retina service line.

    Diagnostic imaging and office visits are prominent compared with peers: 92134 (retinal imaging) generated $51.4K (2.1% of Medicare revenue) with 1.8K claims and ranks #1184 of 26868 (96th percentile; notably above typical national volume), and 99213 has $48.3K (2.0%) with 792 claims and ranks #10964 of 457151 (98th percentile; notably above typical national volume). These elevated percentiles for imaging and routine E/M suggest strong throughput of follow-up and monitoring visits that support the high injection volumes.

    Competitive standing on the primary drug codes is solid but not dominant nationally: J0178 ranks in the 84th percentile and J2777 in the 76th percentile, both described as "typical, unremarkable volume," indicating the provider is a meaningful participant in anti-VEGF/faricimab administration but not an outlier or top national center for those drugs. Surgical retina codes show modest national positioning (examples: 67041 ranks #140 of 461, 67042 ranks #531 of 1087), which aligns with a clinic that emphasizes injections over high-volume retinal surgery.

    Revenue concentration poses operational and reimbursement sensitivity: with the precomputed top-three share of 87.8% and J0178 alone at $1.4M (58.1%), any changes in Medicare reimbursement, utilization patterns, or drug availability for these specific intravitreal agents could disproportionately affect overall provider revenue. The small contribution from other services (each under ~5% individually) means limited internal offsets if injection revenue declines.

    Clinical footprint includes ancillary services consistent with a comprehensive retina clinic: in addition to the dominant injection codes, the provider bills for imaging (92134, 92235, 92250), minor laser (67228, 66821), and occasional intravitreal implants (J7312), which together support diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up care for retinal disease. These ancillary codes appear at lower revenue shares but reinforce that the practice offers the typical diagnostic and therapeutic mix needed to manage macular degeneration and related retinal conditions.

    Provider tenure is long-standing: the NPI was enumerated on 2006-04-12 (~20 years ago), indicating sustained presence in the Medicare program. Combined with $2.4M in lifetime Medicare revenue and consistently reported injection volumes, the data suggest an established retina-focused practice with multi-year operational continuity in the Medicare market.
