$96,002

Medicare paid this office $96,002 for 273 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

273 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 72 · Under 65 8% · 85 and older 7% · Women 30% · Also on Medicaid 14% · Health risk score 1.01. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

The office billed $287,750, Medicare allowed $121,944 and paid $96,002; for 1,221 services of 41 kinds; $18,434 of it was for drugs given in the office and $77,568 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

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.

$5,417,081

Pharmacies billed $5,417,081 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (215 of 8,078) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%. Long-acting opioids: 14% of their opioid prescriptions.

5,871 generic and 2,177 brand-name prescriptions · $5,417,081 in drug cost · 90 antibiotic prescriptions to 59 people · 66 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.
