$10,197

Medicare paid this office $10,197 for 66 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

66 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 71 · Women 52% · Also on Medicaid 67% · Health risk score 1.39. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 45% · Coronary heart disease 23% · Chronic kidney disease 23% · Depression 21% · Heart failure 17% · Stroke 17%.

The office billed $42,929, Medicare allowed $14,368 and paid $10,197; for 134 services of 12 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.

$50,844 in 2024

Medicaid paid $50,844 for 3,091 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 50 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.

$1,057,363

Pharmacies billed $1,057,363 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 5,459) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

4,161 generic and 1,003 brand-name prescriptions · $1,057,363 in drug cost · 51 antibiotic prescriptions to 47 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.

$130 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.
