Who their Medicare patients are

13 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 70 · Health risk score 1.30. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical ophthalmology clinician is at 1.16.

The office billed $11,846, Medicare allowed $2,513 and paid $2,003; for 18 services of 11 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.

Medicaid work

$4,315 in 2024

Medicaid paid $4,315 for 46 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 19 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.
