$156,780

Medicare paid this office $156,780 for 398 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

398 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 78 · Women 54% · Also on Medicaid 35% · Health risk score 1.37. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 44% · Chronic kidney disease 34% · Coronary heart disease 29% · Heart failure 18% · Atrial fibrillation 17% · Depression 15% · Cancer 14% · Dementia 13% · COPD 12% · Stroke 10%.

The office billed $371,050, Medicare allowed $210,508 and paid $156,780; for 1,687 services of 27 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.

$754 in 2024

Medicaid paid $754 for 37 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 20 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.

$1,477,214

Pharmacies billed $1,477,214 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (16 of 9,382) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

7,953 generic and 1,384 brand-name prescriptions · $1,477,214 in drug cost · 230 antibiotic prescriptions to 147 people · 27 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.
