Who their Medicare patients are
164 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 71 · Women 45% · Also on Medicaid 9% · Health risk score 1.09. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 1.13.
Conditions among them: High blood pressure 53% · Coronary heart disease 20% · Diabetes 19% · Cancer 18% · Chronic kidney disease 15% · Depression 12% · Atrial fibrillation 11% · Heart failure 7%.
The office billed $192,483, Medicare allowed $54,018 and paid $42,062; for 518 services of 35 kinds; $6,514 of it was for drugs given in the office and $35,548 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
| 2024 | 164 | 518 | 71 | 1.09 | $192,483 | $42,062 |
| 2023 | 13 | 18 | 74 | 1.10 | $8,190 | $1,675 |
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.
Medicaid work
$3,956 in 2022
Medicaid paid $3,956 for 18 billed services this clinician did in 2022, up to 17 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.
| Clinic visit/encounter, all-inclusive | 18 | $3,956 |
| 2022 | 18 | 1 | 17 | $3,956 |
Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$34,922
Pharmacies billed $34,922 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 4% of their Part D prescriptions (28 of 674) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%.
597 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $34,922 in drug cost · 20 antibiotic prescriptions to 18 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.
