$77,629

Medicare paid this office $77,629 for 535 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

535 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 78 · Under 65 8% · 85 and older 31% · Women 56% · Also on Medicaid 25% · Health risk score 1.84. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 2.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 41% · Diabetes 38% · Chronic kidney disease 33% · Atrial fibrillation 32% · Heart failure 28% · Depression 28% · Dementia 22% · Cancer 21% · COPD 19% · Stroke 19%.

The office billed $633,424, Medicare allowed $100,520 and paid $77,629; for 848 services of 46 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.

$39,840 in 2024

Medicaid paid $39,840 for 933 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 43 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.

$6,986

Pharmacies billed $6,986 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 18% of their Part D prescriptions (49 of 276) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 12%.

251 generic and 25 brand-name prescriptions · $6,986 in drug cost · 78 antibiotic prescriptions to 72 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.

$70 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.
