$95,098

Medicare paid this office $95,098 for 303 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

303 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 68 · Women 70% · Also on Medicaid 54% · Health risk score 1.44. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical endocrinology clinician is at 1.46.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 65% · Chronic kidney disease 28% · Coronary heart disease 22% · Depression 22% · Atrial fibrillation 16% · Heart failure 14% · COPD 14% · Cancer 11% · Stroke 7% · Dementia 5%.

The office billed $295,868, Medicare allowed $129,078 and paid $95,098; for 2,636 services of 13 kinds; $33,964 of it was for drugs given in the office and $61,134 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.

$70,113 in 2024

Medicaid paid $70,113 for 2,178 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 122 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.

$2,215,763

Pharmacies billed $2,215,763 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 4,346) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical endocrinology clinician is at 0%.

1,566 generic and 2,417 brand-name prescriptions · $2,215,763 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.

$46 in 2023

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
