Who their Medicare patients are

108 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Women 64% · Health risk score 0.94. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 70% · Diabetes 43% · Chronic kidney disease 20% · Coronary heart disease 10%.

The office billed $21,318, Medicare allowed $6,660 and paid $6,660; for 669 services of 29 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.

Medicaid work

$505,291 in 2024

Medicaid paid $505,291 for 14,617 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 168 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.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$160,818

Pharmacies billed $160,818 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 1,978) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%.

1,723 generic and 240 brand-name prescriptions · $160,818 in drug cost · 44 antibiotic prescriptions to 38 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.
