1 hospital

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

$43,832

Medicare paid this office $43,832 for 87 people. Most of that is long return visits and Botox.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

87 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 69 · Women 53% · Also on Medicaid 32% · Health risk score 2.69. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 67% · Atrial fibrillation 31% · Chronic kidney disease 28% · Coronary heart disease 26% · Diabetes 21% · COPD 20% · Heart failure 18% · Depression 18% · Cancer 17% · Dementia 13%.

The office billed $134,826, Medicare allowed $55,754 and paid $43,832; for 364 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 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.

$1,814 in 2024

Medicaid paid $1,814 for 19 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 13 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.

$275,502

Pharmacies billed $275,502 in 2024.

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

280 generic and 37 brand-name prescriptions · $275,502 in drug cost · 56 antibiotic prescriptions to 23 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.

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

$1,884 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.
