Public record actions

$195,272

Medicare paid this office $195,272 for 936 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

936 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 5% · 85 and older 12% · Women 56% · Also on Medicaid 20% · Health risk score 1.03. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1.31.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 59% · Coronary heart disease 23% · Diabetes 18% · Atrial fibrillation 17% · Depression 16% · Chronic kidney disease 15% · Cancer 11% · COPD 11% · Heart failure 10% · Stroke 6% · Dementia 3%.

The office billed $618,781, Medicare allowed $275,744 and paid $195,272; for 5,014 services of 54 kinds; $6,209 of it was for drugs given in the office and $189,063 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.

$6,562 in 2024

Medicaid paid $6,562 for 146 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 36 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.

$668,690

Pharmacies billed $668,690 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 862) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.

766 generic and 96 brand-name prescriptions · $668,690 in drug cost · 69 antibiotic prescriptions to 40 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.

$1,988 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.
