$330,708

Medicare paid this office $330,708 for 534 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

534 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 79 · Under 65 7% · 85 and older 31% · Women 52% · Also on Medicaid 72% · Health risk score 2.78. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

The office billed $681,063, Medicare allowed $450,711 and paid $330,708; for 2,997 services of 29 kinds; $1,082 of it was for drugs given in the office and $329,626 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.

$10,475 in 2024

Medicaid paid $10,475 for 1,453 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 130 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.

$1,376,108

Pharmacies billed $1,376,108 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (36 of 9,233) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

7,730 generic and 1,473 brand-name prescriptions · $1,376,108 in drug cost · 115 antibiotic prescriptions to 84 people · 11 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.
