$949,606

Medicare paid this office $949,606 for 2,268 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

2,268 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 3% · 85 and older 14% · Women 27% · Also on Medicaid 8% · Health risk score 1.10. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical urology clinician is at 1.36.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 71% · Cancer 28% · Coronary heart disease 26% · Chronic kidney disease 22% · Diabetes 20% · Atrial fibrillation 20% · Depression 16% · Heart failure 11% · COPD 11% · Stroke 7% · Dementia 5%.

The office billed $2,293,057, Medicare allowed $1,255,194 and paid $949,606; for 49,520 services of 95 kinds; $417,671 of it was for drugs given in the office and $531,935 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.

$8,070 in 2024

Medicaid paid $8,070 for 297 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 29 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.

$2,197,665

Pharmacies billed $2,197,665 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (113 of 5,024) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical urology clinician is at 2%.

4,295 generic and 708 brand-name prescriptions · $2,197,665 in drug cost · 285 antibiotic prescriptions to 155 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.
