Medicare volume is ranked against active providers in the same specialty.

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)
Established Patient Problem Focused Exam of Visual System92012	55	$95
Established Patient Complete Exam of Visual System92014	50	$134
New Patient Complete Exam of Visual System92004	22	$158
Imaging of Optic Nerve92133	12	$36

Typical Medicare-allowed amounts for these services range $36–$158 (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 · 2 distinct drugs on file.

Drug	Part D claims (2024)	Beneficiaries
Latanoprost	30	—
Neomycin/Polymyxin B/Dexamethabrand: Neomycin-Polymyxin-Dexameth	13	11

Medicare Part D only. These counts cover prescriptions paid through Medicare Part D in 2024 — they do not include 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 no Part D record, 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.
