Medicare paid this office $21,796 for 175 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Procedures year by year

Times billed to Original Medicare each year. A blank year means fewer than 11 people had it, or none: Medicare does not publish smaller counts. Medicare Advantage patients are not included.

Who their Medicare patients are

175 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 6% · 85 and older 11% · Women 62% · Also on Medicaid 9% · Health risk score 1.33. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1.31.

The office billed $104,159, Medicare allowed $27,637 and paid $21,796; for 577 services of 39 kinds; $635 of it was for drugs given in the office and $21,161 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.

$1,722

Pharmacies billed $1,722 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 40% of their Part D prescriptions (117 of 291) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.

291 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $1,722 in drug cost · 24 antibiotic prescriptions to 16 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.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
