$1,157,184

Medicare paid this office $1,157,184 for 1,141 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

1,141 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 5% · 85 and older 19% · Women 55% · Also on Medicaid 14% · Health risk score 1.30. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical ophthalmology clinician is at 1.16.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 71% · Diabetes 32% · Chronic kidney disease 27% · Coronary heart disease 22% · Atrial fibrillation 17% · Cancer 15% · Depression 15% · Heart failure 13% · COPD 9% · Stroke 7% · Dementia 4%.

The office billed $3,755,642, Medicare allowed $1,501,140 and paid $1,157,184; for 10,829 services of 47 kinds; $608,369 of it was for drugs given in the office and $548,816 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.

$62,366 in 2024

Medicaid paid $62,366 for 1,114 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 55 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.

$11,246

Pharmacies billed $11,246 in 2024.

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

174 generic and 97 brand-name prescriptions · $11,246 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.

$27 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.
