The office billed $8,850, Medicare allowed $3,969 and paid $3,162; for 38 services of 6 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.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$85,309

Pharmacies billed $85,309 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 6% of their Part D prescriptions (11 of 193) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

164 generic and 29 brand-name prescriptions · $85,309 in drug cost · 39 antibiotic prescriptions to 32 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.
