$21,756

Medicare paid this office $21,756 for 118 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

118 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 70 · Under 65 20% · 85 and older 15% · Women 60% · Also on Medicaid 57% · Health risk score 2.29. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical family practice clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 58% · Chronic kidney disease 53% · Heart failure 38% · Depression 38% · Coronary heart disease 27% · COPD 26% · Stroke 25% · Atrial fibrillation 21% · Cancer 19% · Dementia 16%.

The office billed $83,396, Medicare allowed $28,715 and paid $21,756; for 343 services of 13 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.

$587,841 in 2024

Medicaid paid $587,841 for 13,698 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 234 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.

$193,111

Pharmacies billed $193,111 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (26 of 1,457) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%.

1,116 generic and 287 brand-name prescriptions · $193,111 in drug cost · 83 antibiotic prescriptions to 54 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.

$17 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.
