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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

328 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Women 45% · Also on Medicaid 8% · Health risk score 1.12. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical general surgery clinician is at 1.69.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 68% · Coronary heart disease 31% · Cancer 24% · Atrial fibrillation 20% · Diabetes 18% · Chronic kidney disease 16% · Depression 16% · Heart failure 13% · COPD 11% · Dementia 6% · Stroke 6%.

The office billed $714,792, Medicare allowed $209,430 and paid $162,209; for 671 services of 80 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.

$858

Pharmacies billed $858 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 83% of their Part D prescriptions (94 of 113) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical general surgery clinician is at 34%.

111 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $858 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.

$265 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.
