$59,004

Medicare paid this office $59,004 for 308 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

308 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Under 65 12% · 85 and older 12% · Women 57% · Also on Medicaid 28% · Health risk score 1.56. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical neurology clinician is at 1.61.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 69% · Diabetes 31% · Depression 28% · Coronary heart disease 27% · Chronic kidney disease 19% · Stroke 18% · Atrial fibrillation 16% · Cancer 15% · Heart failure 14% · COPD 14% · Dementia 10%.

The office billed $325,138, Medicare allowed $76,093 and paid $59,004; for 1,135 services of 19 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.

$13,282 in 2024

Medicaid paid $13,282 for 341 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.

$4,801

Pharmacies billed $4,801 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 62) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical neurology clinician is at 0%.

57 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $4,801 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.

$8,057 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.
