$26,352

Medicare paid this office $26,352 for 167 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

167 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Women 51% · Health risk score 0.96. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical sleep medicine clinician is at 1.21.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 64% · Coronary heart disease 32% · Atrial fibrillation 29% · Diabetes 23% · Depression 20% · Cancer 16% · Heart failure 14% · Chronic kidney disease 13% · COPD 11%.

The office billed $87,222, Medicare allowed $36,001 and paid $26,352; for 498 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.

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.

$7,380

Pharmacies billed $7,380 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 14% of their Part D prescriptions (25 of 182) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical sleep medicine clinician is at 0%. Long-acting opioids: 96% of their opioid prescriptions.

175 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $7,380 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.

$580 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.

16 measures · 2023

Medicare asked this office to report how often certain checkups happened in 2023. This is not a grade for the doctor. A specialist’s patients may not need every screening.
