$45,603

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

Who their Medicare patients are

147 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 80 · 85 and older 33% · Women 50% · Also on Medicaid 12% · Health risk score 2.37. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

The office billed $147,680, Medicare allowed $57,853 and paid $45,603; for 633 services of 10 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.

$10,243 in 2023

Medicaid paid $10,243 for 320 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 17 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.

$30,113

Pharmacies billed $30,113 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 7% of their Part D prescriptions (23 of 342) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

291 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $30,113 in drug cost · 62 antibiotic prescriptions to 51 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.

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.
