$73,771

Medicare paid this office $73,771 for 287 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

287 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Women 67% · Health risk score 0.89. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical allergy/ immunology clinician is at 1.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 64% · Diabetes 22% · Coronary heart disease 19% · Atrial fibrillation 16% · Depression 16% · COPD 15% · Cancer 14% · Chronic kidney disease 11% · Heart failure 8% · Stroke 8%.

The office billed $340,652, Medicare allowed $99,150 and paid $73,771; for 4,592 services of 24 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.

$1,674,857

Pharmacies billed $1,674,857 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 1,450) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical allergy/ immunology clinician is at 0%.

824 generic and 626 brand-name prescriptions · $1,674,857 in drug cost · 36 antibiotic prescriptions to 29 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.

$3,936 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.

Research money

Money a company paid to run a study. Where it went to their institution, the clinician is named as an investigator and did not receive it; the amount covers the whole study, often across many sites.
