$77,735

Medicare paid this office $77,735 for 177 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

177 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 72 · Women 54% · Also on Medicaid 15% · Health risk score 1.51. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 1.19.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 65% · COPD 38% · Coronary heart disease 32% · Depression 26% · Diabetes 25% · Chronic kidney disease 20% · Cancer 15% · Heart failure 14% · Atrial fibrillation 14% · Stroke 7%.

The office billed $713,263, Medicare allowed $99,622 and paid $77,735; for 595 services of 39 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.

$2,564 in 2024

Medicaid paid $2,564 for 40 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 13 people in a month for one service.

Medicaid and CHIP claims where this clinician did the service, fee-for-service and managed care together. Any month with fewer than 11 patients is hidden, so small Medicaid practices undercount.

$10,205

Pharmacies billed $10,205 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 7% of their Part D prescriptions (19 of 272) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 4%.

265 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $10,205 in drug cost · 31 antibiotic prescriptions to 25 people.

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.

$6,033 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.
