$12,066

Medicare paid this office $12,066 for 83 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

83 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 72 · Women 47% · Also on Medicaid 30% · Health risk score 1.13. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 1.42.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Depression 31% · Diabetes 23% · Stroke 22% · Chronic kidney disease 18% · COPD 17% · Coronary heart disease 14% · Atrial fibrillation 14%.

The office billed $311,876, Medicare allowed $15,622 and paid $12,066; for 162 services of 32 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.

$1,408

Pharmacies billed $1,408 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 34% of their Part D prescriptions (32 of 93) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 0%.

93 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $1,408 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
