These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

$224,422

Medicare paid this office $224,422 for 537 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

537 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 7% · 85 and older 20% · Women 48% · Also on Medicaid 21% · Health risk score 2.23. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology clinician is at 2.35.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 68% · Chronic kidney disease 37% · Diabetes 30% · Coronary heart disease 23% · Cancer 21% · Atrial fibrillation 21% · Heart failure 18% · Depression 18% · COPD 11% · Stroke 10% · Dementia 8%.

The office billed $1,034,225, Medicare allowed $300,552 and paid $224,422; for 3,020 services of 23 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.

$1,921 in 2024

Medicaid paid $1,921 for 154 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 27 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.

$9,301,317

Pharmacies billed $9,301,317 in 2024.

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

1,223 generic and 661 brand-name prescriptions · $9,301,317 in drug cost · 115 antibiotic prescriptions to 41 people · 27 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.

$164,984 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.
