$436,641

Medicare paid this office $436,641 for 2,313 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

2,313 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Under 65 7% · 85 and older 25% · Women 54% · Also on Medicaid 28% · Health risk score 2.00. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 45% · Diabetes 44% · Chronic kidney disease 42% · Heart failure 39% · Atrial fibrillation 35% · Depression 26% · Cancer 20% · COPD 20% · Stroke 20% · Dementia 17%.

The office billed $1,277,067, Medicare allowed $570,123 and paid $436,641; for 10,968 services of 54 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.

$8,776 in 2024

Medicaid paid $8,776 for 1,010 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 121 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.

$1,334,468

Pharmacies billed $1,334,468 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 4,027) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

3,020 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,334,468 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.

$891 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.
