These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

$181,490

Medicare paid this office $181,490 for 547 people. Most of that is long return visits and Botox.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

547 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 6% · 85 and older 18% · Women 58% · Also on Medicaid 12% · Health risk score 1.29. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical neurology clinician is at 1.61.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 71% · Stroke 29% · Coronary heart disease 26% · Depression 25% · Diabetes 24% · Chronic kidney disease 21% · Atrial fibrillation 18% · Dementia 18% · Cancer 16% · Heart failure 14% · COPD 12%.

The office billed $632,607, Medicare allowed $240,489 and paid $181,490; for 12,875 services of 51 kinds; $56,295 of it was for drugs given in the office and $125,196 for care.

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.

$242,344

Pharmacies billed $242,344 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (42 of 1,692) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical neurology clinician is at 0%. Long-acting opioids: 38% of their opioid prescriptions.

1,535 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $242,344 in drug cost · 81 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.

$19,931 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.

Research money

Money a company paid to run a study. Where it went to their institution, the clinician is named as an investigator and did not receive it; the amount covers the whole study, often across many sites.
