$549,828

Medicare paid this office $549,828 for 920 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

920 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 5% · 85 and older 12% · Women 100% · Also on Medicaid 13% · Health risk score 0.96. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical obstetrics & gynecology clinician is at 0.88.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 60% · Depression 26% · Coronary heart disease 16% · Chronic kidney disease 16% · Diabetes 15% · Atrial fibrillation 13% · Cancer 12% · COPD 12% · Heart failure 10% · Stroke 7% · Dementia 5%.

The office billed $1,249,210, Medicare allowed $730,261 and paid $549,828; for 19,638 services of 71 kinds; $67,048 of it was for drugs given in the office and $482,781 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.

$17,085 in 2024

Medicaid paid $17,085 for 414 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 20 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.

$488,735

Pharmacies billed $488,735 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (68 of 2,029) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical obstetrics & gynecology clinician is at 0%.

1,454 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $488,735 in drug cost · 374 antibiotic prescriptions to 210 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.

$780 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.
