Why are Medicare and Medicaid shown separately instead of combined?

They come from two different CMS data sources with no shared claim identifier, so they can't be reconciled into one number without double-counting or guessing. Every table and chart on this page keeps them fully separate.

Why is there no private/commercial revenue figure?

Private and commercial payer data comes from Transparency in Coverage files, which only publish negotiated rates — not claims or utilization volume. Without a volume figure, no revenue number can be computed for any provider from that data.

What does "Rank" mean in the Competitive Analysis & Benchmarks tables?

For a given CPT/HCPCS code, it's this provider's position by claims volume among all providers billing that same code at that geography level (State, National, or New Hampshire for Medicaid) — rank 1 means the highest claims volume for that code.

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to New Hampshire only?

Medicaid is administered per-state with no single national fee schedule, so a state or national comparison the way Medicare has one isn't available. New Hampshire (this provider's own state) is the only grouping that's conceptually meaningful.

Why are the numbers rounded to the nearest 10?

To avoid implying more precision than the underlying data supports at a single-provider level. Ratios are kept precise since they're a relative comparison, not a volume or dollar figure.

How current is this data?

The Medicare and Medicaid tables are both single current snapshots, not refreshed on a recurring schedule yet.

Key Findings

This provider’s Medicare footprint is concentrated in ophthalmic surgical and evaluation services: the top three Medicare codes by revenue — 66984, 99214, and 92014 — together account for 54.3% of total Medicare revenue. The presence of cataract surgery code 66984 as the single largest revenue line ($74.5K, 22.3%) alongside high-volume established patient E/M (99214) and comprehensive eye exams (92014) indicates an operation combining operative cataract care with ongoing outpatient ophthalmology management.

Revenue concentration is material: 66984 alone contributes $74.5K (22.3% of Medicare revenue), and the precomputed top-three share of 54.3% shows over half of Medicare receipts come from a narrow mix of surgical and evaluation codes. This concentration suggests the practice’s financial performance is meaningfully dependent on cataract procedures plus routine and problem-focused follow-up visits.

Payer mix is effectively single-payer in this data set: total Medicare revenue is $335.1K and there is no Medicaid billing on file. For analysts, that indicates this provider operates with Medicare as the primary public payer exposure and has no Medicaid-reimbursed activity to diversify public-payer risk or supplement volume.

Competitive standing across Medicare codes is mixed but leans toward solid outpatient volume for several services. For example, 99214 ranks in the 94th percentile nationally (notably above typical national volume) and 92004 ranks in the 95th percentile, signaling above-average office visit volume for both established and new-patient comprehensive visits. By contrast, 66984 sits in the 63th percentile (typical, unremarkable volume), indicating cataract surgery volume is respectable but not unusually high relative to national peers.

Procedure-level nuance: besides routine cataract extraction (66984) the provider bills related intraocular lens insertion and complex/adjunct procedures such as 66991 ($25.7K, 7.7%) and 66982 ($8.3K, 2.5%), plus laser capsulotomy 66821 ($11K, 3.3%). This mix indicates the surgical service line includes both routine cataract cases and adjunct glaucoma or posterior capsule management, supporting a practice model that performs perioperative and follow-up procedural care in addition to primary cataract operations.

There are specific codes with notably high percentile placements that point to diagnostic capacity: 92133 (OCT optic nerve imaging) ranks in the 94th percentile and 92136 (IOL biometry) is at the 76th percentile, showing the provider delivers high volumes of imaging and preoperative measurement services. These high-volume imaging codes align with an integrated cataract/surgical pathway where diagnostic testing supports surgical planning and postoperative care.

Tenure and experience are long enough to be meaningful: this NPI has been enumerated since 2016-05-31 (~10 years ago). The decade-long enumeration supports interpretation of patterns as established practice behavior rather than a brief or incidental billing profile.

There are no Medicaid codes on file, so there are no in-state Medicaid competitive comparisons to assess. The absence of Medicaid billing should be viewed operationally — either the provider does not accept Medicaid patients or has not billed Medicaid in the available record — and it concentrates the provider’s public-payor exposure entirely in Medicare for analysts modeling payer risk.
