2 hospitals

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

$235,926

Medicare paid this office $235,926 for 490 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

490 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Under 65 7% · 85 and older 25% · Women 44% · Also on Medicaid 20% · Health risk score 3.19. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical nephrology clinician is at 4.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 75% · Diabetes 54% · Coronary heart disease 46% · Heart failure 38% · Atrial fibrillation 37% · Cancer 27% · Depression 17% · COPD 16% · Stroke 15% · Dementia 14%.

The office billed $834,265, Medicare allowed $312,046 and paid $235,926; for 11,782 services of 22 kinds; $21,913 of it was for drugs given in the office and $214,013 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.

$339 in 2023

Medicaid paid $339 for 12 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 12 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.

$326,086

Pharmacies billed $326,086 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (21 of 2,478) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical nephrology clinician is at 0%.

2,172 generic and 275 brand-name prescriptions · $326,086 in drug cost · 21 antibiotic prescriptions to 15 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.

$242 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.
