What this provider does (Medicare)
Based on Medicare fee-for-service claims, 2024; not all care is captured.
| Service (HCPCS) | Medicare services | Typical Medicare-allowed (2024) |
|---|---|---|
| Photography of Content of Eyes92285 | 50 | $20 |
| Established Patient Problem Focused Exam of Visual System92012 | 48 | $84 |

| New Patient Problem Focused Exam of Visual System92002 | 29 | $77 |
| Exam of Visual Field With Extended Testing92083 | 22 | $60 |
Typical Medicare-allowed amounts for these services range $20–$189 (2024). The Medicare-allowed amount is what Medicare recognizes for a service under fee-for-service — a reference figure for 2024, not a price quote and not what you would be billed. Medicare Part B covers roughly an eighth of all NPIs (65+ skew); services with fewer than 11 beneficiaries are suppressed by CMS.

What this provider prescribes (Medicare Part D)
Top drugs by Medicare Part D claim volume, 2024 · 6 distinct drugs on file.
| Drug | Part D claims (2024) | Beneficiaries |
|---|---|---|
| Neomycin/Polymyxin B/Dexamethabrand: Neomycin-Polymyxin-Dexameth | 121 | 85 |
| Doxycycline Hyclate | 41 | 37 |
| Erythromycin Basebrand: Erythromycin | 38 | 26 |
| Doxycycline Monohydrate | 29 | 24 |
| Ciprofloxacin Hcl | 14 | 12 |
| Cephalexin | 13 | 12 |
Medicare Part D only. These counts cover prescriptions paid through Medicare Part D in 2024 — they do notinclude cash-pay, commercial-insurance, Medicaid, or Part B–administered drugs, and badly undercount high cash-pay categories (e.g. GLP-1 weight-loss, testosterone, and ED medications). Any drug with 10 or fewer claims is omitted by CMS, and beneficiary counts under 11 are suppressed — so a missing drug means , never zero. This is a factual claims summary, not an endorsement, not medical advice, and not a consumer report. Source: CMS Medicare Part D Prescribers — by Provider and Drug.
Transparency — industry payments
Based on CMS Open Payments, 2024; not all care is captured.
$501 across 12 records (Open Payments 2024)
Open Payments discloses payments and transfers of value (meals, travel, consulting, research, royalties) from drug and device makers to providers. This is a transparency signal, not a verdict — such payments are legal and common, and their presence is neither an endorsement nor a criticism. Source: CMS Open Payments, program year 2024.
