$112,170

Medicare paid this office $112,170 for 651 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

651 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 6% · 85 and older 13% · Women 59% · Also on Medicaid 15% · Health risk score 1.18. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 1.19.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 61% · Coronary heart disease 20% · Diabetes 19% · Chronic kidney disease 19% · Depression 18% · Cancer 16% · Atrial fibrillation 15% · COPD 11% · Heart failure 10% · Stroke 9% · Dementia 4%.

The office billed $480,737, Medicare allowed $153,063 and paid $112,170; for 1,437 services of 44 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.

$390 in 2023

Medicaid paid $390 for 13 billed services this clinician did in 2023, 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.

$17,681

Pharmacies billed $17,681 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 4% of their Part D prescriptions (23 of 518) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 4%.

495 generic and 23 brand-name prescriptions · $17,681 in drug cost · 38 antibiotic prescriptions to 32 people.

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.

$39 in 2022

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
