$21,484

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

Original Medicare patients only. A risk score of 1.0 is the average Medicare patient; higher means sicker. Any count under 11 is hidden.

$81,431

Pharmacies billed $81,431 in 2024.

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

38 generic and 19 brand-name prescriptions · $81,431 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.

$489 in 2025

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.
