$32,318

Medicare paid this office $32,318 for 133 people. Most of that is long return visits and Botox.

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

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

133 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 71 · Women 80% · Also on Medicaid 31% · Health risk score 1.72. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical rheumatology clinician is at 1.38.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 65% · Depression 23% · Coronary heart disease 20% · Chronic kidney disease 20% · Diabetes 19% · Heart failure 17% · Atrial fibrillation 17% · Cancer 16% · COPD 13%.

The office billed $221,174, Medicare allowed $44,252 and paid $32,318; for 376 services of 16 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.

$1,203 in 2020

Medicaid paid $1,203 for 35 billed services this clinician did in 2020, up to 17 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.

$906,228

Pharmacies billed $906,228 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 7% of their Part D prescriptions (64 of 862) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical rheumatology clinician is at 3%.

698 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $906,228 in drug cost.

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.

$95 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
