$189,791

Medicare paid this office $189,791 for 540 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

540 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 4% · 85 and older 12% · Women 69% · Also on Medicaid 18% · Health risk score 1.09. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 62% · Depression 21% · Coronary heart disease 20% · Chronic kidney disease 17% · Atrial fibrillation 17% · Diabetes 14% · Cancer 14% · Heart failure 11% · Stroke 10% · COPD 9% · Dementia 6%.

The office billed $1,246,147, Medicare allowed $249,612 and paid $189,791; for 4,112 services of 49 kinds; $8,076 of it was for drugs given in the office and $181,715 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.

$61,344 in 2024

Medicaid paid $61,344 for 1,135 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 58 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.

$1,485

Pharmacies billed $1,485 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 41% of their Part D prescriptions (48 of 116) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.

115 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,485 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.

$238 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.
