$106,589

Medicare paid this office $106,589 for 674 people.

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

The office billed $1,518,713, Medicare allowed $135,237 and paid $106,589; for 2,805 services of 32 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.

$8,985 in 2024

Medicaid paid $8,985 for 302 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 24 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
