$81,613

Medicare paid this office $81,613 for 152 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Procedures year by year

Times billed to Original Medicare each year. A blank year means fewer than 11 people had it, or none: Medicare does not publish smaller counts. Medicare Advantage patients are not included.

Who their Medicare patients are

152 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Women 100% · Also on Medicaid 9% · Health risk score 1.66. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical gynecological oncology clinician is at 1.53.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Cancer 56% · Coronary heart disease 38% · Diabetes 32% · Depression 27% · Chronic kidney disease 23% · COPD 18% · Heart failure 16% · Atrial fibrillation 15% · Stroke 13%.

The office billed $268,507, Medicare allowed $103,751 and paid $81,613; for 505 services of 47 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.

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.

$308,596

Pharmacies billed $308,596 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 6% of their Part D prescriptions (15 of 251) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical gynecological oncology clinician is at 13%.

227 generic and 24 brand-name prescriptions · $308,596 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.

$122 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.

Research money

Money a company paid to run a study. Where it went to their institution, the clinician is named as an investigator and did not receive it; the amount covers the whole study, often across many sites.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
