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

$274,970

Medicare paid this office $274,970 for 643 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

643 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 5% · 85 and older 15% · Women 15% · Also on Medicaid 21% · Health risk score 1.29. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical urology clinician is at 1.36.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 69% · Chronic kidney disease 29% · Cancer 26% · Diabetes 25% · Coronary heart disease 21% · Atrial fibrillation 20% · Depression 18% · Heart failure 14% · COPD 9% · Stroke 9% · Dementia 8%.

The office billed $824,724, Medicare allowed $364,270 and paid $274,970; for 5,298 services of 79 kinds; $43,361 of it was for drugs given in the office and $231,609 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.

$771 in 2024

Medicaid paid $771 for 29 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.

$456,976

Pharmacies billed $456,976 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 1,266) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical urology clinician is at 2%.

1,102 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $456,976 in drug cost · 274 antibiotic prescriptions to 158 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.

$1,980 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.
