    Key Findings

    This provider reports $1.7M in total Medicare revenue and has no Medicaid billing on file (none), making their footprint effectively single‑payer in the available data. Their NPI was enumerated 2005-08-18 (~21 years ago), indicating long tenure and an established practice history in Eau Claire, WI.

    Revenue is highly concentrated in a small set of drug injection codes: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 82.1% of this provider's total Medicare revenue, with J0178 alone representing 59.9% ($1M) of Medicare receipts. That concentration signals that a few procedure/drug lines dominate the practice’s financial profile rather than a broad mix of office E/M and diagnostic services.

    The top Medicare codes (J0178, J2777, J2778, and 67028) point to a procedure-driven, retina-focused ophthalmology practice that delivers high volumes of intravitreal anti‑VEGF injections and associated intravitreal procedures. Supporting diagnostic and management codes such as 92134 (OCT) and 92014 (comprehensive established eye exam) also appear in the top code set, consistent with ongoing medical retina care and imaging follow-up.

    Despite J0178 accounting for $1M and 59.9% of this provider’s Medicare revenue, the provider’s national standing on that code is moderate: J0178 ranks #856 of 3204 providers nationally and is described as 73th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume for this code. The pattern suggests the provider is a significant local user of aflibercept but not an uncommon or outlier user at the national level.

    Other principal drug codes show similar moderate national positioning: J2777 (7.9K claims, $227.9K, rank #1186 of 2039, 42th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume) and J2778 (807 claims, $145.3K, rank #510 of 1208, 58th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume). These ranks indicate the provider runs a steady stream of varied anti‑VEGF therapies, but does not dominate these markets nationally.

    Several diagnostic and office codes show disproportionately high relative volume for outpatient ophthalmology care: 92014 (1.1K claims, $89.2K) is labeled notably above typical national volume and ranks in the 96th percentile, and 92134 (1.2K claims, $35.1K) is in the 93th percentile (typical, unremarkable volume). This combination implies a workflow that pairs frequent therapeutic injections with high follow‑up exam and imaging throughput.

    Operationally, claim counts underline procedural throughput: J0178 has 1.5K claims and J2777 has 7.9K claims, while 67028 has 901 claims, indicating routine, repeated intravitreal procedures as a core revenue engine rather than episodic high‑ticket surgeries. Payers and network planners should expect that relationships and contracting around anti‑VEGF drugs and associated injection procedures will materially affect this provider’s revenue stream.

    The absence of Medicaid billing (none) means Medicaid participation or exposure is not observable for this provider; strategic assessment and payer mix analysis should treat the entity as effectively Medicare-centric in the available claims universe. For competitive or access planning in Wisconsin, evaluate the provider primarily on Medicare volumes and their procedure/imaging capacity rather than on state Medicaid activity.
