$253,279

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

The office billed $1,239,031, Medicare allowed $351,045 and paid $253,279; for 17,164 services of 26 kinds; $1,832 of it was for drugs given in the office and $251,446 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.

$1,315,313

Pharmacies billed $1,315,313 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 2,479) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical allergy/ immunology clinician is at 0%.

1,691 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,315,313 in drug cost · 159 antibiotic prescriptions to 114 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.

$1,752 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.
