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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

14 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 68 · Health risk score 2.54. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75%.

The office billed $16,115, Medicare allowed $3,199 and paid $2,357; for 19 services of 9 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.

$74,270

Pharmacies billed $74,270 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 374) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

351 generic and 23 brand-name prescriptions · $74,270 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.

$29 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.
