$57,678

Medicare paid this office $57,678 for 205 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

205 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Women 59% · Also on Medicaid 19% · Health risk score 1.59. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical endocrinology clinician is at 1.46.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 66% · Chronic kidney disease 40% · Coronary heart disease 29% · Atrial fibrillation 22% · Heart failure 21% · Cancer 16% · Depression 15% · Stroke 13% · COPD 12% · Dementia 10%.

The office billed $217,977, Medicare allowed $79,399 and paid $57,678; for 727 services of 13 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.

$1,097,443

Pharmacies billed $1,097,443 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 1,849) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical endocrinology clinician is at 0%.

735 generic and 1,011 brand-name prescriptions · $1,097,443 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.

$83 in 2024

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
