$8,248

Medicare paid this office $8,248 for 64 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

64 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 71 · Under 65 27% · Women 53% · Also on Medicaid 64% · Health risk score 1.72. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical gastroenterology clinician is at 1.42.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 42% · Depression 36% · Chronic kidney disease 28% · Coronary heart disease 22% · Heart failure 22% · COPD 17%.

The office billed $30,003, Medicare allowed $10,680 and paid $8,248; for 78 services of 16 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.

$1,884 in 2024

Medicaid paid $1,884 for 26 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 14 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.

$178,827

Pharmacies billed $178,827 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 206) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical gastroenterology clinician is at 0%.

141 generic and 65 brand-name prescriptions · $178,827 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.

$61 in 2025

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
