Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 57% · Chronic kidney disease 36% · Coronary heart disease 30% · Heart failure 18% · Atrial fibrillation 17%.

The office billed $19,734, Medicare allowed $11,303 and paid $8,513; for 112 services of 8 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.

Medicaid work

$335,981 in 2024

Medicaid paid $335,981 for 4,446 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 115 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.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$594,719

Pharmacies billed $594,719 in 2024.

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

3,106 generic and 582 brand-name prescriptions · $594,719 in drug cost · 102 antibiotic prescriptions to 81 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.
