$81,795

Medicare paid this office $81,795 for 299 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

299 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Under 65 8% · 85 and older 10% · Women 44% · Also on Medicaid 10% · Health risk score 0.87. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 1.13.

The office billed $217,389, Medicare allowed $104,399 and paid $81,795; for 1,188 services of 36 kinds; $19,801 of it was for drugs given in the office and $61,994 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.

$0 in 2024

Medicaid paid $0 for 17 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.

$476,021

Pharmacies billed $476,021 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (130 of 5,281) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%.

4,711 generic and 545 brand-name prescriptions · $476,021 in drug cost · 48 antibiotic prescriptions to 33 people · 11 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.
