    Key Findings

    This provider is effectively single‑payer: reported Medicare revenue totals $6.3M while there is no Medicaid billing on file, and the NPI was enumerated 2006-05-04 (~20 years ago), indicating long tenure. The combination of a long enrollment history and a sole Medicare revenue stream suggests a mature, Medicare‑focused ophthalmology practice rather than a mixed Medicaid/Medicare population model.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in intravitreal pharmacotherapy: the top 3 Medicare codes account for 78.6% of this provider's total Medicare revenue, led by J0178 ($2.4M, 37.5%), Q5128 ($1.3M, 20.6%), and J2778 ($1.3M, 20.4%). This concentration means most Medicare dollars come from a small set of high‑impact drug codes rather than distributed office or surgical procedures.

    The provider’s operational profile is retina‑focused with very high volumes of injections and related procedures: J0178 shows 3.5K claims, Q5128 6K claims, J2778 6.8K claims, and 67028 has 3.8K claims. Combined with substantial diagnostic imaging (92134 with 5.5K claims), the code mix indicates a workflow centered on frequent follow‑up visits, intravitreal injections, and retina imaging rather than primary care ophthalmology or broad general ophthalmic services.

    Competitive standing for the top agents is notably elevated at the national level: Q5128 ranks #10 of 373 providers nationally (98th percentile; extreme outlier), J2778 ranks #20 of 1208 providers (98th percentile; notably above typical national volume), and J0178 ranks #114 of 3204 providers (96th percentile; notably above typical national volume). These ranks mark the provider as a high‑volume national outlier for multiple anti‑VEGF agents and a major participant in Medicare billing for these drugs.

    High ancillary and diagnostic throughput supports the injection volume: 92012 has 2.6K claims and $182.8K revenue (2.9% of total Medicare revenue) and 92134 has $169.3K revenue (2.7% of total Medicare revenue) with ranks in the 100th percentile and described as extreme outliers. This pattern—large counts of intermediate/comprehensive exams and retinal imaging—aligns with a practice model that manages chronic retinal disease requiring recurrent visits and monitoring.

    Payer revenue composition and per‑claim economics show drug dollars dominate: average paid/claim for J0178 is $685, for Q5128 is $217, and for J2778 is $189, so high per‑claim payments for certain agents drive a disproportionate share of overall Medicare revenue. The combination of high per‑claim payment for some drugs and very large claim counts for others indicates revenue is driven by both price and volume across different agents.

    The practice demonstrates adoption of a range of intravitreal agents, including biosimilars and newer therapies: besides the top three agents, J2777 (faricimab) appears with 10.6K claims and $308K revenue (4.9%) but is characterized as typical/unremarkable volume, while J2781 (pegcetacoplan) has 585 claims and $70.2K revenue (1.1%) and is typical as well. This mix suggests clinical use of multiple therapeutic classes and some uptake of newer compounds, with variability in how much each contributes to revenue.

    Because the top three codes produce 78.6% of Medicare revenue, the provider’s revenue profile is highly sensitive to utilization and reimbursement shifts for those specific intravitreal drugs. Any changes in coverage, pricing, or care patterns for J0178, Q5128, or J2778 would disproportionately affect the provider’s Medicare revenue given the current concentration.
