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

$3,792

Medicare paid this office $3,792 for 20 people.

This is what Medicare paid the clinician — not Medicare Advantage, and not the pharmacy.

Who their Medicare patients are

20 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 72 · Women 100% · Health risk score 0.84. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical obstetrics & gynecology clinician is at 0.88.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 60%.

The office billed $14,625, Medicare allowed $5,122 and paid $3,792; for 42 services of 14 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.

$0 in 2022

Medicaid paid $0 for 13 billed services this clinician did in 2022, up to 13 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.

$1,442

Pharmacies billed $1,442 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 19) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to judge: with under about 50 a year, a handful of patients can swing this share.

16 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,442 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.

$84 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.
