These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

$79,113

Medicare paid this office $79,113 for 453 people. Most of that is long return visits and Botox.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

453 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 8% · 85 and older 12% · Women 45% · Also on Medicaid 16% · Health risk score 1.25. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical neurology clinician is at 1.61.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 32% · Diabetes 27% · Atrial fibrillation 26% · Depression 25% · Chronic kidney disease 22% · Heart failure 18% · Cancer 17% · Stroke 16% · Dementia 12% · COPD 11%.

The office billed $596,127, Medicare allowed $103,589 and paid $79,113; for 678 services of 18 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.

$117,140

Pharmacies billed $117,140 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 10% of their Part D prescriptions (25 of 251) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical neurology clinician is at 0%. Long-acting opioids: 76% of their opioid prescriptions.

214 generic and 37 brand-name prescriptions · $117,140 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.

$996 in 2022

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.
