$108,211

Medicare paid this office $108,211 for 286 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

286 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Women 11% · Also on Medicaid 22% · Health risk score 1.34. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical urology clinician is at 1.36.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 70% · Cancer 64% · Diabetes 29% · Coronary heart disease 27% · Chronic kidney disease 25% · Atrial fibrillation 16% · Depression 15% · Heart failure 12% · COPD 11% · Stroke 6% · Dementia 4%.

The office billed $1,004,001, Medicare allowed $139,290 and paid $108,211; for 987 services of 62 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.

$0 in 2020

Medicaid paid $0 for 22 billed services this clinician did in 2020, up to 22 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.

$5,516

Pharmacies billed $5,516 in 2024.

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

96 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $5,516 in drug cost · 37 antibiotic prescriptions to 33 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.

$70 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
