Original Medicare doctor bills
This is what Medicare paid the clinician — not Medicare Advantage, and not the pharmacy.
Procedures Medicare counted
| Lower limb (leg) arthroscopy (minimally invasive joint repair) | 1-10 | None |
Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$112
Pharmacies billed $112 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 54% of their Part D prescriptions (22 of 41) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to compare fairly with other clinicians.
41 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $112 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.
