Who their Medicare patients are

26 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Women 54% · Health risk score 3.22. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

The office billed $13,908, Medicare allowed $6,460 and paid $5,124; for 62 services of 8 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 by year
20242662743.22$13,908$5,124
20231430761.88$5,503$2,407

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.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$38,112

Pharmacies billed $38,112 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (13 of 402) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

327 generic and 75 brand-name prescriptions · $38,112 in drug cost · 84 antibiotic prescriptions to 59 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.
