These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

$102,188

Medicare paid this office $102,188 for 128 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

128 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 72 · Under 65 11% · 85 and older 9% · Women 49% · Also on Medicaid 21% · Health risk score 1.78. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 69% · Diabetes 30% · Cancer 29% · Coronary heart disease 26% · Chronic kidney disease 25% · Depression 19% · Atrial fibrillation 18% · Heart failure 12% · COPD 9%.

The office billed $870,264, Medicare allowed $128,488 and paid $102,188; for 276 services of 72 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.

$469

Pharmacies billed $469 in 2024.

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

11 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $469 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.

$550 in 2024

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

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
