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

$14,383

Medicare paid this office $14,383 for 110 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

110 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 69 · Under 65 32% · 85 and older 11% · Women 66% · Also on Medicaid 69% · Health risk score 2.31. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical family practice clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 71% · Diabetes 45% · Chronic kidney disease 38% · Coronary heart disease 33% · Depression 28% · Heart failure 27% · COPD 25% · Dementia 22% · Stroke 18% · Atrial fibrillation 16% · Cancer 15%.

The office billed $85,260, Medicare allowed $19,539 and paid $14,383; for 262 services of 24 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.

$474,091 in 2024

Medicaid paid $474,091 for 4,010 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 158 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.

$139,449

Pharmacies billed $139,449 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 8% of their Part D prescriptions (86 of 1,097) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%. Long-acting opioids: 22% of their opioid prescriptions.

884 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $139,449 in drug cost · 11 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.
