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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

495 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Under 65 3% · 85 and older 20% · Women 63% · Also on Medicaid 6% · Health risk score 1.14. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical podiatry clinician is at 1.55.

The office billed $242,192, Medicare allowed $99,675 and paid $72,694; for 974 services of 25 kinds; $61 of it was for drugs given in the office and $72,632 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.

$5,472

Pharmacies billed $5,472 in 2024.

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

192 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $5,472 in drug cost · 13 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.

$103 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.
