What this clinician told their state board, medical school and everything before it. Only some states publish this, so nothing here means the state does not say, not that there was no training or certification.

Specialty certification

• American Board of Ophthalmology - Ophthalmology

$2,872,699

Medicare paid this office $2,872,699 for 1,079 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Procedures year by year

Times billed to Original Medicare each year. A blank year means fewer than 11 people had it, or none: Medicare does not publish smaller counts. Medicare Advantage patients are not included.

Who their Medicare patients are

1,079 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 80 · Under 65 2% · 85 and older 29% · Women 60% · Also on Medicaid 13% · Health risk score 1.34. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical ophthalmology clinician is at 1.16.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 73% · Diabetes 25% · Chronic kidney disease 25% · Coronary heart disease 22% · Atrial fibrillation 18% · Cancer 16% · Depression 16% · Heart failure 13% · COPD 10% · Stroke 8% · Dementia 7%.

The office billed $17,800,210, Medicare allowed $3,648,256 and paid $2,872,699; for 35,398 services of 40 kinds; $2,375,580 of it was for drugs given in the office and $497,119 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.

$214,248 in 2024

Medicaid paid $214,248 for 1,008 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 58 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.

$21,261

Pharmacies billed $21,261 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 304) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical ophthalmology clinician is at 0%.

191 generic and 113 brand-name prescriptions · $21,261 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.

$7,758 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
