$748,409

Medicare paid this office $748,409 for 1,170 people.

This is what Medicare paid the clinician — not Medicare Advantage, and not the pharmacy.

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

1,170 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 78 · Under 65 1% · 85 and older 20% · Women 13% · Also on Medicaid 9% · Health risk score 1.17. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical urology clinician is at 1.36.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Cancer 36% · Coronary heart disease 34% · Diabetes 33% · Chronic kidney disease 26% · Atrial fibrillation 20% · Heart failure 14% · Depression 10% · COPD 9% · Dementia 7% · Stroke 7%.

The office billed $3,000,947, Medicare allowed $987,601 and paid $748,409; for 108,843 services of 105 kinds; $208,476 of it was for drugs given in the office and $539,933 for care.

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.

$75 in 2024

Medicaid paid $75 for 111 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 18 people in a month for one service.

Medicaid and CHIP claims where this clinician did the service, fee-for-service and managed care together. Any month with fewer than 11 patients is hidden, so small Medicaid practices undercount.

$438,829

Pharmacies billed $438,829 in 2024.

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

2,676 generic and 155 brand-name prescriptions · $438,829 in drug cost · 349 antibiotic prescriptions to 216 people.

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.

$3,021 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.
