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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

144 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Women 59% · Health risk score 1.22. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 70% · Chronic kidney disease 28% · Diabetes 22% · Coronary heart disease 20% · Atrial fibrillation 19% · Heart failure 16% · COPD 15% · Depression 15% · Cancer 13% · Stroke 12% · Dementia 10%.

The office billed $195,701, Medicare allowed $72,187 and paid $56,406; for 346 services of 50 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.

$872 in 2024

Medicaid paid $872 for 13 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 13 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.

$2,451

Pharmacies billed $2,451 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 28% of their Part D prescriptions (54 of 192) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%.

192 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $2,451 in drug cost · 22 antibiotic prescriptions to 12 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.

$3,625 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.
