$127,692

Medicare paid this office $127,692 for 178 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

178 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Women 53% · Health risk score 1.34. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical radiation oncology clinician is at 1.69.

Conditions among them: Cancer 75% · High blood pressure 70% · Diabetes 26% · Chronic kidney disease 21% · Coronary heart disease 20% · Atrial fibrillation 16% · Depression 16% · Heart failure 13% · COPD 13% · Stroke 7%.

The office billed $395,038, Medicare allowed $161,462 and paid $127,692; for 1,840 services of 24 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.

$971

Pharmacies billed $971 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 125) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical radiation oncology clinician is at 11%.

115 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $971 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.

$439 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.
