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

75 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 72 · Women 51% · Health risk score 1.65. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical surgical oncology clinician is at 1.48.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 44% · Depression 44% · Coronary heart disease 33% · Chronic kidney disease 31% · Cancer 27% · Atrial fibrillation 27% · Heart failure 24% · COPD 21%.

The office billed $308,093, Medicare allowed $86,261 and paid $68,655; for 330 services of 61 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.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$10,299

Pharmacies billed $10,299 in 2024.

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

57 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $10,299 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.
