Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

193 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 7% · 85 and older 10% · Women 53% · Also on Medicaid 20% · Health risk score 1.44. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical neurology clinician is at 1.61.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 62% · Depression 35% · Dementia 23% · Diabetes 22% · Coronary heart disease 22% · Chronic kidney disease 19% · Atrial fibrillation 19% · Cancer 17% · Stroke 13% · Heart failure 11% · COPD 9%.

The office billed $180,278, Medicare allowed $61,271 and paid $47,891; for 612 services of 22 kinds.

Original Medicare patients only. A risk score of 1.0 is the average Medicare patient; higher means sicker. Any count under 11 is hidden.

Year by year

Original Medicare only. A service billed for fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden, so the lines can add up to less than the year's total.

$271,561

Pharmacies billed $271,561 in 2024.

This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.

539 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $271,561 in drug cost.

Part D prescriptions only. The opioid rate is opioid prescriptions as a share of all this clinician's Part D prescriptions; surgeons and pain specialists run higher than others, so it is shown against the same specialty.

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

$357 in 2025

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
