$97,731

Medicare paid this office $97,731 for 225 people.

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

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

225 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Under 65 16% · 85 and older 14% · Women 45% · Also on Medicaid 53% · Health risk score 2.99. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Heart failure 65% · Diabetes 62% · Chronic kidney disease 58% · Coronary heart disease 57% · Atrial fibrillation 46% · COPD 37% · Depression 36% · Stroke 25% · Dementia 20% · Cancer 19%.

The office billed $409,799, Medicare allowed $123,188 and paid $97,731; for 736 services of 21 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.

$5,218 in 2024

Medicaid paid $5,218 for 431 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 28 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.

$15,270

Pharmacies billed $15,270 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 78) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

17 generic and 61 brand-name prescriptions · $15,270 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.

$188 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.
