Original Medicare doctor bills

$2,587

Medicare paid this office $2,587 for 27 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

27 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 70 · Women 44% · Also on Medicaid 59% · Health risk score 2.95. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 2.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 56% · Coronary heart disease 41%.

The office billed $18,159, Medicare allowed $3,692 and paid $2,587; for 28 services of 5 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

$9,991 in 2024

Medicaid paid $9,991 for 89 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 15 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

$4,584

Pharmacies billed $4,584 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 11% of their Part D prescriptions (33 of 306) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 12%.

279 generic and 27 brand-name prescriptions · $4,584 in drug cost · 72 antibiotic prescriptions to 60 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.
